Been spending a fair amount of time on the water in the last couple of weeks - giving AJ a run for his money on od hours!!!
After Wednesdays Bass sucess on JV I had a friend visiting who wanted to go fishing Thursday - hard life!
We had a late start and launched ay 9:30 ish to find AJ out on his favourite location!
However - small Maccy were hard to come by and monster eaters were easy - we just used one rod for feathers and we couldn't not catch - great fun and my guest really enjoyed it.
We then settled down to some Bass fishing and had a really good run on a live bait - it ran and ran - I passed the rod to my crew and said to drop in to gear and hit it - the fish was on, the bend was good then nothing - Mr Spikey had let go!! On retreiving of the gear Mr Spikey wanted more and hit the bait on the surface near the boat, like a dog with a toy it shook teh bait - but alas it then saw us and made a quick exit!
Well - that was it on the Bass front, but at least we know how big the one that got away was - I would say 6lb+
We headed in for a picnic on the beach with the wives and kids - glorious weather though a little hazy and choppy - then back in to fillet the mackerel and home for dinner and family time.
Oh - Weymouth next weekend - excellent!!!
