I had one rod out with worm on a sole rig the other a pennel and large squid or mackerel baits. Well the crabs were active, as baits were being stripped within 10 minutes. I eventually managed 2 small smoothound on worm and Lighty a couple of small school Bass.
Fed up with feeding the crabs Paul and I moved further round away from the rocks on to the sandy beach and within 5 minutes I'd landed a Bass of around 1.5lb. We stayed till 2.30am but with the tide ebbing fast bites had stopped completely.
Saturday evening decided to give the Sole fishing a miss and go all out for a Bass, so decided on a spot.
Arrived for 9pm, there's not much room at this venue, and beachcasters are to big so took my Bass rod and a carp rod. Running ledgers on both a 4/0 pennel on the Bass rod and a single 4/0 on the carp rod.
Mackerel chunks on the carp rod and the heads on the Bass.
Within minutes of the bait going out I had a run on the carp rod, which I missed. After 15 minutes of constant bites I finally connected and landed my target a hard fighting Bass on a carp rod, great sport. It went 2lb 2oz.
Photo taken she was slipped back, rebaited and the bites continued. I was getting nothing on the Bass rod baited with mackerel head so after a couple of hours changed this to a whole squid, within minutes I had a good take and it felt reasonable good, landed it went 2lb 8oz, whilst I was unhooking it the rachet went on the carp rod and a Bass of around a pound was landed, so photo of both.
Well I promised the wife I'd only fish till midnight and now it was 1.15am, oooops, so thought I'd better not push my luck so reluctantly called it a night with the bass still feeding. In total I had 9 Bass between 1lb and 2.5lb all returned alive.
I know this venue can produce bigger as I've had them before, but it was great sport on very light tackle, will be back very soon.
