Then went out to a local mark with a mate in the evening pretty much stranded January fishing was trying for rays but only had pout dogs ting and straps until I was packing up one rod when I noticed the other had gone completely slack wound in about 30 yards of line to be met with some solid head shakes ah decent strap I thought arfter a short be solid scrap I rethought and decide it was a bass and sure enough a long lump of silver came thru the break went to pick up my quarry and was shocked to find a very perculier looking bass then it hit me it’s a bloody sea trout never had one before so was chuffed with that good one for the species hunt aswell few pics then off it swam so no a bad days fishing bagged up on bait for the winter fished a new mark and had a couple of new species happy days Huss and wrasse are my next targets cheers ma butes

I snagged a salmon spinning off the rocks at st Ives targeting Mack's for breakfast. A local watched me and said I needed a licence to fish for them but in any case with a wink he said fry it, don't grill it...lol.

When I hooked one in the estuary once I was already plotting how quickly it could make it from the bank to my seat box ?

Unfortunately it threw the hook

 

[Mr Fish]

Btw I wouldn’t do that now, this was probably 20 years ago, plus I’m far better educated now on how low local salmon stocks are, so wouldn’t want to take one.

Well done tat great looking sea trout , most of the lure guys have had sea trout , but sadly I have not , yet that is
