Wedger Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Had a little trip from Mudeford on Sunday. I'd planned to take out a friend who is interested in buying the Wilson, but at the last minute he failed to get cover for boys footy practice. Still, fuelled up, hitched on, and a slight to moderated northerly, I couldn't say no. I took a few live trout to try, although they were perhaps a little too large for inshore work, but it was, in practice, an extension of the bait survival and hardiness trials started on Tango Bravo last month. They passed again 110%. 25 fish in my live tank all day, full salinity. The trick of winkling out a bass however, was only achieved by a couple of locals . I eventually discovered they were using tiny live smelt. Not deterred I headed out beyond the ledge and dropped a bait down. Only moments later, a long slow pull. WEED? Nope! neat peck marks to the head.............. dead bait New fish on, drop down............... long slow pull ............................dead bait Must have been fishing in 'Cuttle Central' 'cos you couldn't drop a live bait down without it getting killed Just for distraction, as much as anything, I dropped a mackerel strip down to ring the changes. I'd forgotten that 'Cuttle Central', is just one neighbourhood of 'Dog City' Back to macky bashing till we drifted far, far, faaaaaaar away. Well, guess what? Odd mackerel still turning up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
