East Coast Bass

#1 Post by freedom1916 »

Tide : High at 6pm

Times : 3.00pm to 6.30pm

Where: East coast

Rigs: 2 hook flappers

Bait: Rag and squid

Arrived down at the mark to see 3 lads already set up and another 8 to 9 off to my left.
Set up cast out and the tide started to rush in had to keep on the move. Next thing i see is my line racing across the water thought what the F**K. Picked it up and bang battle of all battle's bass on landed shorly later about 4 to 5lb some fight thought. Next up the smallest flounder i've ever seen and on a size 3/0 hook.Went very quite then for a while. Then about half an hour before high tide rod tip went over picked up the rod and landed a schoolie. Great day as only the secound time i've ever got bass. Starting to get a bit of a liking for the aul bass. Hopefully find time to get back out soon.
Sorry no pics up my kness in waves after the first. Was getting a pic of the schoolie but let him slip and off he went.
