Report:We started off early in the morning on the day before it all ends for 1 month. We began lure fishing from a rocky and fairly deep water mark which only resulted in 1 fish. This was a Personal Best bass for me and finally a bass that was bigger than 3 1/2lb. I could have died and gone to heaven on the spot!! In a rush to return the fish as quickly as possible and with as little damage as possible, I didn't manage to weigh it. Estimations range from 7 to 8 pounds. We took a good break back in the house and set off for our next mark which was a long sandy beach that we bait fished. This is where another Personal Best fish was achieved, a bass of 9lbs!! I had a really poor time on this beach, if it wasn't for my morning result I would have been really dissappointed! All in all it must be said that although I only caught 2 fish - it has to be my best session ever
Great report and pics too.
