A bad start but......

Went out to a local mark to see if  could pick up
a few wrasse this morning spent about 3hrs fishing
in glorious sun on an incoming tide but apart from
a few tentative bites and a dropped fish i had no takers
so i moved on in he afternoon for the start of the fall
it was an extremely shallow mark with alot of weed
i started wth the patchinko i worked the lure for about
20 casts a couple of boils behind the lure changed to
the pugachev cobra but still nothing so on to the feed shallow
had a few follows with that but no strikes i could see some fish working
and feeding on some sandeels so i put on an ayu xlayer rigged
weedless and worked it ''walk the dog'' subsurface after a few casts
bang fish on and after a few mins of a fight had a nice 3lb fish on shore
and it must have been feeding hard as it was a short fish but extremely fat



























anyway back it went and i moved upshore a bit farther to see if i could pick
up anymore fish and after a few more casts i was into another fish this one
was a longer fish but not nearly as fat






























I also tried out some underwater shots not easy to take them on youre own though
especially when the bass arent wanting to hang around for a close up


































That was all the fishing i done at that mark off i went to refuel
for the evining session.

I got to the next mark with an hour or so off the fall left
fished for a while before I could get out to the whitewater where
i thought the fish might be anyway we made my way out and started to fish
i intially started with a 3g twistlok and xlayer drifted out in the current
but no luck so i changed to a heavier head and it made an instant
difference first cast and a nice little 2lb fish on the end of the line






























a few more casts and i was into another and this one really fought like a much
bigger fish as it turned out it was another just over 2lb.
I fished on and had another few fish





































































































































As darkness fell the bigger fish started to come with my best fish being
just over 5lb.
Had a total of 11 bass today and enjoyed every minute of it
so what started off as a bad day really turned around and turned
into my best days bassing this year

tight lines,

Jay

  1. Excellent stuff Jay.
    Have only ever seen one day like that (numbers) around here in the last 20+ years. Still sticks in my memory as clear as day though :)
    Keep up the good work mate.
