After an enjoyable afternoon lunch and a few pints in an ale house, Jax and I headed off to the beach (Jax was designated driver!) armed with our light bass rods, a few rigs and a wrap of frozen black lug.
Arriving to find two friends already there was nice, even nicer was that one bailed out and gave us two score of fresh blacks!
Conditions looked beyond perfect. The sea was coloured with a lot of wave movement and a few gaper clams plus the odd starfish and razor clam being washed up the shingle.
This looked very very Bassy. It looked so good, I would have bet that even the unluckiest Bass angler would have bagged up.
This was going to be an epic session, I could feel it.
Jax and I cast out and stood by the rods, waiting to pounce the second that a Bass snaffled up our worm baits.
We waited. We rebaited. We waited some more. We rebaited some more.
We mixed up the baits and again waited.
Nothing. Not a touch.
After three hours and high tide arriving, we wound in for the final time. A blank for Jax and a foul hooked flounder for me!
I fear that Jax and I may have picked up the Bass catching abilities of one of our other forum members!
