ChrisE Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Went out for a couple of hours lure fishing on Monday. Fished a reef off the IoW for the first hour of the flood and caught 4 wrasse up to about 3lb and the first bass of the year, albeit about 1lb. Then tried another reef and it was fish a chuck for the next hour, ended up with about a dozen, nothing special, the best about 3lb but nice to get a bend back in the rod and get the lure working again. It was interesting fishing as well, the reef is quite small and the drift lasts about a couple of mins. At the start when the tide was running about 1.5 knots the fish were on the uptide slope of the reef and as the tide increased to nearly 3 knots they migrated behind the ridge at the top of the reef. They were caught by freespoooling as you went over the ridge letting the lure drop behind the ridge. You just had to close the bailarm after a couple of seconds and usually there was a fish waiting to be reeled in. And got back to the YC for a pint and a bacon sarnie plus watched England beat NZ in the afternoon. Bloody marvellous! gjb, Wedger, Rob and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
