JIMBOB Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Headed out yesterday quite a bit later than planned, Bout 11ish ,as my crew three freinds from brum got caught in traffic on the way down. Two of my mates have never been sea fishing ! but all compitent anglers, one had even had a samon the day before!!. So the plan was just to get some action and they all wanted to catch bass I was going to head to the Island but due to the forcast (4-5 SW in the afternoon)and the late start it was a change of plan so we headed to southbourne ruff on a flat calm sea for a few drifts. Mackrel seemed to jump aboard and as I lined the boat up for the frist drift all seemed to be going to plan.First drift BASS ON ! and this was the case for 4 out of five drifts I sneaked in a drift as i was sitting out and spawned out the biggest bass at 4lb It was misson acomplished with every one bagging a bass buy this time the wind started to build and after a very brief stop at x-ray we headed back to the shelter of the habour for some mullet. These were a bit hard to find, but we kept trying and managed a few in the end. all in all a good day and I think Ive converted 3 more people to sea fishing Tight lines James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinbad Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Nice report Jimbob Its a pain when you have to take out all the people you've promised - sometimes they dont understand last min cancellations because of the weather or a change of plan results in a crap day. Anyway sounds like you had a brilliant session with the bass -were you fishing livebait on special rig ,or did you try stormys / jellyworms. I've got an 'important' client to take out next week - hope he'll be satisfied with a few old dogs and pout !!! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
