fiirst bass 15/3/10
Fished a west coast mark today with husshunter and eoin tarmey. Arrived at the mark hoping to get my 1st bass! First cast i got a nice knock on the rod and i pulled in my 1st one! Only a small one at 31cms but i was over the moon! Husshunter was plucking them out most of the evening and think he ended with 6. We both dropped a few fish. Bites were so quick we missed a lot of them. Also pulled out a flounder later on of 28cms. Not a bad session, finally got my bass though! sorry about the poor report, will put up a pic later!

Re: fiirst Bass 15/3/10
Congratulations Chris , I am so happy for you. I think you thought for a while there that it was never going to happen.
I bet you haven't stopped smiling since you got it, and no wonder. Well done mate.
