Decided to head to our secret spot yesterday me and me mate were joined by another lad who I haven’t fished with before but he was keen to ave a session with us we got down the mark around 1 high was at 7 perfect conditions for plaice flat calm clear water no wind and over cast perfect 
I fished two bar rigs one at 80 yards one at 50 east to overcast the fish here I orso had my afaw bass pro for anything else i fancied doing . Started off slow so just kept changing the baits every 20 mins and sent Bert swimming talking of which my mate hit the jackpot as a top heavy lovelie decide to topless sunbath right next to him he was very happy 
anyhoo first fish fell to me the bar rig registered a decent rattle and arfter a short scrap I landed a small school bass around a 1 lb happy with that first fish of the year I then noticed hundreds of gulls working right out in the bay the lads thought it was mackreal but it was a huge shoals of bass you chould see there backs riseing out of the water but to far to cast too a a huge bite on the bar rig again resulted in another bass for me around the 3lb 8 mark whould have been a keeper but a missing eye and lethargic fight made me think he’d be better realised so he was I noticed the birds where starting to work closer too shore now so I chucked a 75 gem Dexter on my bass rod incase they come closer. With that a huge pod of dolphins came tru around a 1000 yards out putting on a magnificent show strangely they didn’t get involved with the huge bait ball that had been going on and off for a few hrs now but simply went tru must have fed up already . While talking shit with the beys I noticed a few gulls working a bass swirling about 50 yards out to my right I grabbed the bass rod cast out over the top of the shoal and bang bass on lovely fight rewarded me with a nice little bass of a round a1 lb 6 I let him go and proceeded to watch the new lad cast multiple times with the Dexter to no avail lol got to be quick in this game poppet I told him laughing 
I went back to chaseing plaice but they where not haveing it wether it was the small poor worm I’d bought or the fact this was a bad year for them I don’t know 
my mate then had a dog so he was off the mark and I set up my go to bass rig with a small joey as bait flicked it out 5 or 6 yards and left it 10 mins later I herd drag running looked up to see the bass rod arched over and arfter a decent scrap a lovely 4 lber was at my feet he was destined for the table 
the new lad then had a nice plaice around a 1 lb and my mate had the tinyest se ray I’d ever seen lucky it didn’t blow away lol a decent bite on my distance rod had me convinced I hooked a hound but was greeted with a feisty as feck dogfish then that was it we packed up and made and made our way back stopping more times than I usually do as I’m getting old and felt rough as feck . Good day tho altho a bit gutted we didn’t bag up on spotties some better worm and later tide should hopefully see better bags but nice to be back into the bass cheers ma butes
