Five in a row

I've been out quite a bit lately ,
but the going has been tough as i have now
had 5 successive blanks for bass in a row.
The ever increasingly elusive bass seem not to like my lures
at the moment maybe its the fact that water temperatures arent
quite there yet around here or just the fact that the fish arent there.

Yesterday afternoon i went to a mark that i hadnt fished in a while
and conditions looked perfect for fish ,
I even saw some fish feeding and birds hitting the water
anyway i stayed for about 4 hours and although it was a bit
more positive than other times recently as in i had a few follows
all i got was the little pollack below taken on a six inch sluggo
greedy or ambitious i'm not sure which.
The bass evaded me once again!

On a lighter note for anybody who washes off their boots
in the shower as i did the other day and left them in it to dry
it would be a good idea to make sure the shower gel isnt
leaking onto them as I found out yesterday as you can see
from the photo below took about 2 hours of rinsing to
to stop all the foam

anyway till next time

The Last 3 Days

Havent been getting out as much as i want to recently
But i got out over the past few day,
Tuesday night at 2 in the morning as i wanted the
the tide in for this new mark.
One i had looked at but never tried it was quite a walk so all
i brought was a megabass x140 and a couple of x layers which worked
a treat and i caught two bass, one was about a 1lb
the other one was a better fish coming up to the 3lb  not massive fish
but at least they open my silver this year and typically
i had no camera!!
Wedsnesday night was a blank so i need not say more about that
Then went out this evening conditions looked excellent as in the picture
above apart from a light NE wind it couldnt have been better
had plenty of bites but all were very soft and no solid hookups
only managed to land one pollock on a zoom fluke goby rigged weedless

hopefully i'll get to update a bit more often and with a few more fish

thanks for reading
