Report:
Decided on a whim to head out for an hour or two this evening, unfortunately, tackle dealers was virtually cleaned out of bait, what with the long weekend, a couple of big comps on and the cod running at De Wall it was understandable. A packet of razor and a packet of sandeel had to suffice.
I arrived at the beach to find it deserted but with no surf running. It was more in hope than expectation I clipped on a big single hook pulley rig attached to a large razor bait. I usually find on this mark that the calmer it is the further you cast so horsed it out as far as I could. The bait had barely time to get wet before the rod started bouncing, I grabbed and struck and with considerable surprise at my good fortune pulled in a lovely fish not far off the 5lb mark.
If that was a good start, better was to come, I fished 2 rods, both with single hook pulleys and baited one with razor and the other with sandeel. Both rods were bouncing within a few minutes on every cast out with a constant stream of bites. Sandeel was taking coalies to great effect whilst the Bass just could not get enough of the razor with some stonking hits, even having the tripod pulled over at one stage. Phenomenal, frenetic stuff.....fantastic. I finished up landing 5 bass and missing a similar number, the coalie count was 6 or 7 also. As good a couple of hours fishing I have ever had to be honest, it will be hard to match that next time out.
Some eye candy below, apologies for not disclosing the mark but on hearing some horror stories at the weekend from another forum member regarding illegal netting in the area theres not a hope of publishing it. PM only lads.
