Pugwash Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have been reading the many and varied catch reports recently with some envy. As a newcomer to the sport I have particularly enjoyed the reports from the Bass fishermen. With all species there is clearly a huge amount of skill and experience in the club and so I decided to try and put some of the advice to good use. During a beeeeyuwtifull session last Sunday whilst catching Bream etc with the dearly beloved (for it was she) I decided that it was time to become a Bass catcher. So a quick up anchor and a short steam to one of the likely locations was the decision. A few mackeral were obtained for bait and a live one introduced into the water and encouraged to perform some 70 yds astern. I won't bore you with lengthy detail as far better anglers than me have been through those bits. Suffice it to say that the following happened. My first propper Bass at 5lbs. So if there are others out there like me new to Sea angling my advice is go on give it a go! The methods discussed on this site do work! I can't wait for the next one now Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well done Steve for taking the advice and putting it into action with the results to prove the theory works. Fantastic fish, must of impressed the other half no end Seriously though it goes to show that the club and its home on the net is a really worthwhile resource for small boat anglers and its users/members are it's best advert. Keep it up Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Nice one Steve and glad to see the tips and site proving useful. It took me a whole season to catch my first bass using a live joey ( and I was told how to do this by Martin ). May you catch many more like that.
