Not so Bassy evening

After my success of Saturday i was itching to get back to my spot. So Monday with the wife settled down to watch her soaps I took myself off back there. Conditions were different though, it was clear skies with a very bright moon, and the tide was at least  2 hours further out. This it seems made all the difference, I arrived just gone 8pm and it was a good hour before I had my first bite, and this was only a small knock. Bites were less forthcoming than the other night and smaller but eventually I managed to land a Bass of barely a pound, a while later another of similar size.

Just before 11pm again I started to get small taps, no different from the others I'd had, but then the carp rod buried round and I struck and the fish took off like a bat out of hell. Finally I thought a decent Bass, the fish made several powerful runs in several directions, but eventually it was landed, to find not a Bass but a nice 5lb thick lipped mullet.

I stayed on till midnight but had nothing else, so that moon made all the difference, but can't complain 2 Bass and had a New species for the year. Will be back as soon as that moon has gone.

As always all fish were returned alive.
