Bass fishing: China (Day-1, Tuoye Reservoir)

Day-1 at Tuoye went by in a flash. After setting foot at the boat launch after a 36-hour journey, I was left with about 2 hours fishing time. To make matters worse, don't think I had a bite out over the water and decided to fish the marina for the rest of the evening instead. Unfortunately, I lost a big one which came quite as a surprise on a 3/8 oz football head jig which bent the hook. As a consolation, I caught a small one a few casts later.


This one's not getting away.



Unfortunately, this is the best that I could do at Tuoye in Day-1.


The fishing at Tuoye was a lot tougher than I’d anticipated. The reservoir is highly pressurised and I guess most of the bass have probably been caught at least once or have probably seem most types of lures. Well, I’ve still got a couple of more days to learn the lake.

I just hope for better things to come in China.
