alun j. Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 What a pleasant change in the weather........I hope this lasts for a while. Awkward LW time at Mudeford so I couldn't get out as early as preferred; 7.30 seems late at this time of year! A light NW breeze and little swell; mackerel easy to find, so baitwell soon filled with enough [ on my own today ...so more space to spread out]. Today was the first time this year I've been able to put a bait out and drift the way you're meant to go........even better , the breeze just pushed me off nicely and extended the drift. Quickly got the lie of things, moved into more productive territory and 'bang'.......bass on. Amazed to see a 2.25 lb bass having just scoffed a whole mack well over half a pound! .........but this was just the 'tiddler'. Next 4 drifts all produced ; best went 7 lbs 6oz.......but then the tide died and so did the fishing. ..........and the wind changed...... .......the sea breeze kicked in........quickly increasing to an uncomfortable 4 or more!.......and pushing into the building ebb. A much slower trip home and no joy at a mark on the way..........but a great start to my bassing season! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
