rich Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I shall have to keep this brief as my computer keeps crashing. Alun Jones asked if I would like to go out bass fishing on Gastronought. Never having done any (proper) bass fishing before I leapt at the chance. An early start saw us out of Mudeford at about 7.30. Mackeral were hard to locate to start with but after a bit of searching we had a live bait tank with enough for our needs. Final score Alun 5 (bass) Rich 1 (cuttlefish) Despite not catching any bass I learnt a great deal about rigs, bait, techniques and how to set up a live bait tank. Wind got up and we called it a day about 2 o clock. How is it that we used the same bait, fished from the same side of the boat at the same time, had the same rigs (well they looked the same) and the score was 5 nil? Great day out, thanks Alun Rich Quote
Paul D Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I wish I knew ! We fished the ledge o n almost the same drift as Alun on Sunday and had 2 cuttlefish to Alun's/ Adam's 3 Bass. Quote
Sinbad Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Spawney gits! there's your answer I understand Alun is constructing a gold plated wheelbarrow to cart away at next years prizegiving...... Quote
Member Removed Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Hi all I was out on Saturday 30th, telling two novices that fishing wasn't a game of chance, my defining case: alun j ! Thanks for endorsing it with more evidence! PS 3 mackerel and a doggie mackerel tasted brilliant PPS how does one tie live bait? Quote
Neal Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 I always thought it was called "skippers privilege" - however it always seems to work in reverse when I use my boat! Neal Quote
Gnasher Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 PPS how does one tie live bait? single or treble hook through nostrills of live bait. Rich, did you have flourocarbon snood? Quote
rich Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 Yes, I was using flourocarbon snoods. I guess at the end of the day it's like any sport, the more you practice the "luckier" you get. Rich Quote
Manic Moore Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I was out today on my own (going to have to check my deoderant!) struggled to catch mackerell (8 in 2 1/2 hours )but landed 4 bass to 5lb all on the same rod. Same tackle, line, hooks and bait, same hands putting the bait on and the other rod didn't get a touch Gordon Edited June 7, 2008 by Manic Moore Quote
