Report:Got to the mark there was a lovely steady surf rolling up the beach it just looked perfect for a few bass
Set up straight away had a few casts before I got any bites , the first bite was very aggressive the rod tip just dove about a foot then kept hopping by the time i picked it up the line had gone slack . I reeled into weight and struck , FISH ON
another couple of reels later the fish was gone! dont know what happened . I peeled another crab lashed it to the remaining crab on the 5/0 pulley sent it back to roughly the same spot , after a few mins I got nearly the same bite again the rod tip dove nearly a foot then started hopping . I lost that fish too . The next cast was with lugworm another really aggressive bite landed this fish a bass of around 3.5lbs who really didnt wanna be coming ashore . No more bites for me after this . Stephen had a coalie before we left . I have pics but i dropped my camera now it doesnt wanna work . Ill
have to ask santa for a new one
HAPPY CHRISTMAS to EVERYONE

did you use pennell set up ? size 2/0 pennell hook can improve those dropped bites ,then again they do get your heart pumping and keep you focused good session lads

[craigo]

Thanks lads , the heart was thumpin after the first bite alright good to get one fish at least .

Roger de doger I didnt even think of putting a 2/0 on to the snood and making it into a pennel I should have done that after the first missed fish . I usually do use a pennel was just trying out a new hook Sakuma manta extra 5/0 might try them on the penn next time .
