Some surf some rock
With the great reports on here im def due a report, so a few together in this one.
inspired by flounders report here a few weeks ago - i tried to match the tides - but the weather was completely different - big waves and rain, different to the flat calm he connected to the bass - however i prefer the wave action and so it proved
And we had a good night, with 2 bass 3 flounder and a coalie for Gary and 3 bass and 3 flounder for me. Legendary lug from Garys secret spot. Great when a plan comes together.
Good reports out west on the pollack too. So i got up at half 5 and got out west and met up with vinny. Was having no joy on the rubber fish lead heads and a change over to a metal half and half lure got me a nice 5lb plus pollack and a 3.5 lb one later
Vinny was out again during week and the 5 lbs are still in it. in general reports are good for fishing of late
I even chanced the bubble foat and the fly during the week and connected with two trout on the river - steady now - can this good fishing keep going?
Tope on the agenda shortly...

Re: Some surf some rock
Some great fishing the last few weeks for everybody, I wonder if the lockdowns last year have anything to do with it

Nice fishing there. There seems to be a few bass knocking around alright. Especially up our end too. Good to hear and see a good report
Well done

Thanks paddy, you know yourself, the sizeable blue wedge is almost as elusive as the occasional ray - 25 years fishing, still havent got onejohnwest wrote:Easy to miss when competing with a bass......and a sizeable blue wedge!
