Well done Steven. Great bass. Sure beats the fishing locally at the moment....although, the flounder have reappeared.

Well done! that's a great bass you had there.
The weed was back last night :( no wind but the surf picked up near hw, I'm sure it drifts around from the mussel dredgers and the grass from the dissapearing dunes, it a pain on there, managed a 1.5lber on razor, only 2 flounder though.
