South West Branscome comp

[Tatunka joe]

Had the first day f our summer series fishing comps last night 5 hrs of fishing branscome as you chould imagine full of tourists si myself and a couple of mates headed up to my rough ground mark that has served me well this year my mate was first in with two stunning ballens while I struggled to get a bite and that’s how it stayed till dark tried finding Huss and dogs on the ebb and managed a tiny Huss to small to weigh in git pissed off and sent out a Mac fillet on a 4 ft running ledger 10 yards out and 5 mins later my rod hooped over and bang bass on arfter a short but spirited fight I snagged my 1 st bass of the year 3 lb 10 oz he became dinner so sent out another fillet then went down to get it weighed by a mate come back and my bass rod had been completely slack lined wound in to find nothing feck ?then a bite on my other rod produced a dog of 1lb 6 oz good for the comp ?two fish weighed in with an hr to go the bass rod was getting hammerd by straps now to small to take the hook snagged a small Huss n the distance rod but was 10 cm to small to weigh. While setting up another bass bait my distance rod had a violent pull down I grabbed it to feel head shakes conger I bullied it towards the shore and this thing wasn’t happy finally saw my quarry shit it was my first double firm the beach fat and long defo 10 + possibly 15 I got it to the shore and disaster it come off I stopped for a second threw my rod Down and went to grab it but a wave come in to steal my prize I jumped in the Water up and over my shorts but it was too slimey and strong to get hold of and I just stood there watching it sulk back into the gloom ????? end of comp arfter that so a busy hr and a half dogs from the clean ground won the night but I had points in the board and snagged a goid eating bass so not all bad back there tonight on my first crack at the hounds cheers ma butes .

He will have a pop at a conger but not to keen bass he sits and guards mackerel he’s known to still other anglers fish ?but he wants nothing to do with hounds tried it once and got tail slapped but a 6 lber he left his lesson don’t fuck with sharks ?
