People:me

Duration:1.5 hrs

Tide:rising

Weather:yes

Bait:lures

Rigs:

Results:3 Bass to 58cm

Have'nt posted for a while..doesn't mean I haven't been fishin tho :wink: , went to a rock mark tonight with a pass for an hour or two. Arrived and got set up straight away, water a bit cloudy and a small surf, second cast got hit by a bass but missed it, fourth cast fish on, nice bass of 46cm :D , quick photo and returned for another day. About another 5 or six casts and another bass, this time 48cm :D , again quick photo and returned. Started to think to myself only 15 mins in and two bass already this is gonna be good 8) . Kept plugging away for another 15 mins with the same lure got hit about half a dozen times but no hook ups :( . Decided to change tactics as the light was starting to fade , swapped lures and cast out after about 3 casts got a big hit then nothing for another 10 or 15 minutes when I got hit again, but this time no bend on the rod, was reeling in knew there was something on the end but no fight and was thinking this one is small , then right at the waters edge good scrap.. definitely a bass that didn't want to be landed, saw the fish and managed to get him in 58cm :D :D , another photo and fish returned to the briney. All in all a good session and with the light nearly gone packed up and went home happy for the evening. Some photos below.

Had a few pollack and a bass of about 3lbs last night. Its nice weather for fishing the rising tides into dusk.
There was a fair bit of weed floating about where I was.
