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
