You cant beat a bass 24.09.09

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me and mick

Duration:8.00-12.00

Tide:high at 10.30

Weather:mild with moderate swell

Bait:lug and rag

Rigs:clipped down

Results:2 bass, dogfish, flounder




Report: As most of you know there aren't the same numbers of bass in this north west region as down the east coast :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: so when me and mick blanked a few times recently at a secret mark up north itwasn't too much of a surprise or even disappointment. After all isn't it better to blank when bass fishing than to blank for pollack, flounder rays etc :? :? :? So when we landed one each 45cm and 46cm you can appreciate our excitement :D :D :D we then said that one more fish each would be incredible (I know that by east coast standards 1 bass isnt exactly exciting :mrgreen: ) however we hadn't been specific enough with our hopes as although we did each land another fish, they wern't bass.
But hey you cant beat a bass even if it was just one so we both still went home happy :D
