As the title says the tides were small and the sea was flat so I didn't get the big rod out but I got the little one out Instead and went on the hunt for a bass this afternoon.
Low water was at 16.30
2.6 m tide so off I went down to the north gare again to chuck some lures out at 15.00.
I received two lures I ordered from wish yesterday both woke coloured and decided to give one of them a go 30gm shallow diver about 1m. It went out like a bullet well impressed with it. It took some getting used to it as I couldn't see it near the surface but after a few casts I got the hang of it.
My target to beat a 58cm pb. After half an hour chucking it about fish on it gave a good account of itself, a quick handball up the side and there he was 40cm it's a start
After the pic safely returned to the deep well low water
.it started getting dark about 16.45 so out came the head lamp on the lowest setting as I heard lads on here saying use red light I haven't got one and needed it to make sure I didn't fall off the edge and in the drink. I moved further up the pier and thought I had a bit of weed on the lure when I got it in I was quite surprised a first for me this little fella
Now i reckon it's a little pollock but if I'm wrong I'm sure you lads will put me right
but it's a first for me.
At full darkness I moved back down the pier and put a sandy Andy weedless on.
Second cast with this wallop fish on I nearly shit myself I was expecting a bite but when it came it scared the living shit out of me. It had me all over at the top at the bottom it gave a hell of a fight finally got it to the side another quick handball and there he was a quick measure 41cm
the fight he gave was epic best one ive so far with a bass
It was approaching 18.00 and I didn't want to leave the car in the carpark to long in the dark as a few have been done over in the past so headed back. The car was ok and I was happy the way the session went, I will beat my 58cm pb sooner or later so until then you lot have fun
