Rob Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Been spending a fair amount of time on the water in the last couple of weeks - giving AJ a run for his money on od hours!!! After Wednesdays Bass sucess on JV I had a friend visiting who wanted to go fishing Thursday - hard life! We had a late start and launched ay 9:30 ish to find AJ out on his favourite location! However - small Maccy were hard to come by and monster eaters were easy - we just used one rod for feathers and we couldn't not catch - great fun and my guest really enjoyed it. We then settled down to some Bass fishing and had a really good run on a live bait - it ran and ran - I passed the rod to my crew and said to drop in to gear and hit it - the fish was on, the bend was good then nothing - Mr Spikey had let go!! On retreiving of the gear Mr Spikey wanted more and hit the bait on the surface near the boat, like a dog with a toy it shook teh bait - but alas it then saw us and made a quick exit! Well - that was it on the Bass front, but at least we know how big the one that got away was - I would say 6lb+ We headed in for a picnic on the beach with the wives and kids - glorious weather though a little hazy and choppy - then back in to fillet the mackerel and home for dinner and family time. Oh - Weymouth next weekend - excellent!!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I had been out a little while before Rob showed up !! It was breezier early on and gradually eased a bit during the later morning and was pretty flat by early pm, when I had to go !! [ usually it's the other way about !!] As Rob said, finding the small bait-size fish wasn't easy, but the few I had produced several dropped runs [ from small fish I think in my case....but didn't see them]. Eventually managed to contact two....... but smallish fish. Recent observations [and ear to the ground detection] indicates that at the mo, in my neck of the woods, there seems to be the odd big fish about, but most are small and not in any numbers ..yet !! Certainly better sport further afield !! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
