Wedger Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Started today with the view that such a big tide wouldn't fish well all day, so took the opportunity to have a change of prop to try and solve our lack of speed. Long story short as this is after all in catch reports.......... Second prop was naffer than the first.............. so all the way back to Quomps to haul out and change again........... Eventually we pottered out and ran west to find bait, which started wellish with 4 ASAP...............then 40 mins without a touch we desided to use the first ebb with a drift or two for billy bass. Skipper............( that's me today) got it wrong by 50 yards and we shallowed up to lose both baits to the bottom. Skipper............( that's me today) got it bang on the money this time and 200 yards in Jim hits a bass. While Jim plays with his fish I get hit twice but loose the bait on the second one. EEEEeeeeeeeeeeer pot buoy approaching rapidly....... panic yee not cos the bass is safely in the net Oh ballcocks..................no bait left. Long story shorter, we failed to find further bait before second slack and had to head off toward home. Conclusion. Non fishing day turned into fishing..........result! Prop trial took us close to a bassy bit..........sounds interesting Found a few baits............. looking good Four minutes over the strike zone = 5lb 5oz bass = result Not a big day but works for me on percentages. Photo in my album BTW well off the mark!! Edited September 30, 2007 by Wedger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not bad result Trevor. 4 mackeral for bait and endning up with a 5lb 5oz bass is a result in my book. BTW: Took a look over Otter last week when we came in. I thought she looked like she was low in the water so pulled alongside to check she wasnt full of water or something ( she wasn't - it was my imagination ).
