People:Just me.

Duration:3 hours. 9.30am to 12.30pm

Tide:Coming

Weather:Reasonable, a bit showery

Bait:frozen squid and razor

Rigs:

Results:3 bass

Report:I have been trying on and off for the last year to catch a bass, and yesterday I hit the jackpot. On my first cast I thought that the weed was bending my rod and decided to check.As soon as i started to reel in I knew that I had a fish. I did not have a clue what I had and was stunned when I saw that it was a bass. My first bass.I was thrilled with this but disappointed that the beach was empty and I had no one to show it to. Returned the fish as it was only about 2-3lbs and set up again. Within 5 minutes I had another bass, this one about 6lbs. About an hour later another fish roughly the same weight.
Sorry no photos but I did not expect to get 3 bass and did not have the camera with me.

what a great start, just remember the conditions you got them in and you should have no problem getting more. although i would'nt have thought there would have been much of a surf yesterday

Thanks to all the very nice comments.
All three were caught on razor wrapped with squid.
