Hinze Dam 1/5/11

Sunday 5:05am 1/5/11

Kayaks on the roof, rods, tackle & bucket in the boot and the trip begins. Driving to my friends house, the morning looks very still.

5:25am

All loaded up with my 2 mates and we're en route to Hinze Dam, about a 35 minute drive away. As we're driving up and our mobile phones loose reception the tranquillity sets in.

5:55am

Today we're fishing the western side of the lake. Access to this part is in the form of a small steep dirt track. This small track is the main thoroughfare for other fisherman launching vessels - luckily when we arrive we're the first on the water.

6:15am

After some double checking of knots, tackle and kayaks we're off. As we head north up the lake, Bass are hitting the water all around us. I cant wait much longer so I start casting at anything that looks fishy and come up 15 minutes later with a small Bass.

As we continued north the Bass kept coming.

I thought there'd be something under this log but nothing :(

The scenery out here is great!
