well with the calm weather still here I fancied another go last night after having the rays the night before ...couldnt decide on rays or after reading action man's post about bass nearby I thought I'll have a go as I wouldn't usually start fishing for them yet ! so thanks a.m
decided to go all out bass went and dug about 60 lug and headed to my first mark which i like to fish early tide ,so got there about 8 with high at 1am the plan to fish about an hour and a half before moving along coast few miles to fish high at the beach right near mine for a quick exit due to the time ?
so first mark one rod no rest just rig and bucket of lug on me with spare hook and weight in case blunt or loss etc ..nice and light set up .
cast out nibbles staright away rebait 5 mins later same again then 3rd cast one of the nibbles hooked itself and thinking whiting was pleased to reel in a bass about 6inch lol few casts later had one about a pound then next cast drop back bite sizeable one about 45cm or so .. slipped them all back anyway this time though . well pleased with that
never had them this early in the year .
then it went dead as usually does as tide floods up here so decided to move to my 2nd mark ..
got there still hardly any water very shallow spot waited 5 mins and took in the surroundings completly isolated and no road noise or wind just the wading birds calling and herons flying under the moonlight .
not as productive here but still managed 1 about a pound almost at high tide and a tiny one bout 6inch again ..
great to see the tips banging and some silver again .. f
back to car and was completly iced over didn't realise it had dropped anywhere near that as was an active session I was just in jumper ..
