Christmas Joy

Out with Callum today as Derek is laid low in Hospital. We actually turned right out of the harbour and headed west, we tried a number of marks with nothing doing and we moved out a bit into about 35ft of fast flowing water. I was using a metal Duo, jigging just off the bottom.

The first drift produced nothing whilst the second drift I got hit by a fish, at first I thought it was a wrasse as it did little in the way of fighting. As it came to the surface we could see a flash of silver and also another larger bass swimming with the hooked fish.

After a neat bit of netting from Callum a nice 5.5lb fish was landed


The fish was measured at 62cms and tagged and released



Callum later managed a couple of wrasse but this fish was the only bass caught in the few hours we were out.
