Hi All
Still buzzing from yesterday's trip, I was keen to use up the last of my worm if I could today, as the weather looks pants for Tuesday /Wednesday.
However I had stuff to do first thing, so told my mate I would be out later and thought to myself I'd give him a wave as I passed as he said he was fishing a closer mark.
I managed to arrive at low and started to walk out surprised I couldn't see him?
Well I soon saw him in the distance.... In the spot I had the fish yesterday, and planned to fish today ???
Strange he had never fished there before.
Oh well.
He said he thought I was fishing over high not low, so honest mistake.
Whatever, life is too short, so I set up further along.
Just a short trip, as I only had maybe 15 half dead worms on me, and a bit of squid should that run out early.
To rub salt in, he had just caught a 5lb bass before I arrived, and then wound in a 2+ sole 20 mins after I cast out ???. Ah the sole hurt ??
Anyway, I settled down and watched motionless tips, as he then had a strap.
Still quiet my side, so out came the coffee.
As often happens I had a bite after the first sip!
Turned out to be a strap.
Back out it went, and I finished the now cold coffee.
Looking up I had a lot of slack... Bugger... Wound in fast and connected with a bit of weight.... Wasn't a ray at least, and I soon saw a nice spiky fin.
Another nice bass, and at least I could get my mate to take some pics!
I had a quick play with the phone settings, as yesterday's pics took a lot of messing with at home, to try and get a nice image as the sky was bright behind me.
Think they came out OK considering the bright sun?
After that, the rays and eels seemed to move in, and I had a couple of each... Nothing big, best of each around 6lb max
Things now slowed up as we were getting pushed off the reef, and a small strap and a smaller bass around 3.5lb finished off the trip for me.
I didnt get my sole again, but the bass def made up for it.
Cheers Si.
