Duration: 19:30-23:00
High Water: 23:41
Equipment: 13ft surf rod using pennel pulley rig (3/0 specimen X & 1/0 chinu) & 11ft bass rod with 2 hook flapper rig.
My Bait: Ragworm, Squid, Peeler Crab.
Conditions: Good surf.
Result: 1 Smooth Hound
Was hoping to get down to my usual bass mark this evening seeing as there was a good surf, the past week has been impossible to fish there as the beaches were crowded with swimmers, I was hoping with the cooler temps today there wouldn't be as many people but wouldn't you know it the place was jammers. I ended up going back to the spot I got the conger last night, and I got there fairly early too as I was really eager to catch a bass! I had peeler/squid cocktails on the pennel rig at distance then just rag on the flapper in close. It was slow for the first 2 hours before I got a good take on the peeler/squid and it was a decent smooth hound! Not long after that I lost the flapper rig and lead to a snag, that really annoyed me so I packed it in seeing as I didn't bring any spare leads.. Maybe I will try again tomorrow
