Mid December cold bass trip

[Ark]

Got a phone call from Alun about a bass trip.

So Tuesday morning up early 5oclock just to see everything

Frozen up never mind set off all exicited

Got to aluns quick cup tea and away we go. -2 at slip ice at

Edge of the harbour

Set up first drift a fair breeze pushing us at 2 1/2 knots

When the tide slowed a bit the bites started first to me good

fish on good fight only to throw hook at side of boat

Blast I said Alun said that was near double figures

Next drift aluns into one 9 pounder in cracking condition

Then another to him 3 ish

Then my turn bang goes the float lovely fight on light gear

just under 8 pounds well pleased, we had a couple more

up to 5 1/2 and some more dropped takes

All in it was a great day albeit freezing

A big thanks to the bass man, and he even gave me a

Lobster for me tea

Kev With a big smile

Although cold above the surface, sea temp still up above 8 C ..and bass still feeding !
