Report:set up about 50 yards from the only other guy on the beach, nothing happened for an hour and he left, soon after therod tip went bananas and i landed a 3lb bass. . . recast and waited no more that half an hour before the same rod tip went bananas again, 3 1/2lb bass was landed. . .thought i was gonna be in for a busy nite, but got no more bites. feet were too cold to continue so packed up and left at 3.30. . . didnt actually put my clocks back til 4am lol
anyway, tried to get pics, even put the headlights of the car on, but as my flash aint working, it was no good. .

Nice fishing! Great to hear bass being caught up this way. Were they far out? Caught on single rag or cocktail?Well done!

Good going on the bass, I was up there with a pal a few days ago and had nothing other than whiting and coalies. Then again there wasn't much of a surf on and nothing showing close in. All the coalies were at a fair distance.

got both of them on the rag worm, and on my bass rod too, was well pleased. and both on the 2 hook flapper, 1st on the bottom hook, the 2nd on the top hook
distance?. . .just a decent lob out. its hard to tell distance over sea
