and seeing as the summer is all but gone it could be one of the last bass hunts for the year on the lure
was still not bothered even 30mins beforehand but with a break in the weather and the sun starting to shine i went for it
got to the mark with plenty of waves breaking off the main channel and some slack water close to edge in places i was happy enough with the water movement
the wind was more WNW than the SW i was hoping for but it didnt ruin the cast
started out with a shallow enough lure bringing it across the waves but there was nothing riding them - moved up and down the channel edge for an hour with no joy - threw on a shad that i never caught a bass on before but thought why not
at least is was going deeper - the water at the edge was full of sediment and spotted with small fragments of weed
had brought in a good bit on the first lure - but with the depth it was good on the shad - the hook on the upperside helped greatly with the weed in front
anyways after 10mins i saw a flash of silver on the way up with lure - then convinced myself for the next 15mins that it was my mind playing tricks with me - the shad making a splash on the way out being sliver/grey and all was the obvious conclusion
stayed in the area and didnt move and then i got duly rewarded
hit it about 20 meters out - took a bit of line twice - only a couple of mins of a fight but well worth it - seemed to give up the ghost as it was hard to swim with the bolders and weed in front
up onto the waters edge and i was a happy man - season finished on a high
thats a new way to describe bass fishing!
