Good stuff Ray very nice fish there :P ,im looking forward to a few trips with the lures my self,i hope to see a few fish of the same size , although a double figure one for myself would be what dreams are made of :wink: .
Unlucky loosing the lures but i think it was more than worth it again very nice bars of silver.
I hope you dont hang up your beachcasters just yet im looking forward to a few trips out still.
great pics mate. :P

Well done on your first bass on a lure - a fine one for your first.
Tip: If you get snagged dont pull, release plenty of slack, and wait for a few minutes, there is a good chance the wave action will free the lure, particularly if waves are breaking over the area where you are snagged.
Cod season Winter 2013/14: 117 cod (best fish: 6.5 lbs)

Well done ray, fine fish you got there, I'd say you were delighted. much better sport from the lures alright. Pity about the lost lures, Do a search on lure retrievers, lots of different ones out there, never used one before but they might be worth getting, especially if you are shedding out 15 yoyo's a pop.
Species 2012:

Cod, Whiting, flounder, coalfish, bass, pollack, sea trout, poor cod, pouting, dogfish, sea scorpion, 3 bearded rockling, blonde ray, painted ray, turbot.
