Holford, Myself and Andyclark fished the tide up and an hour down, started fishing at 10am after fist spending some time showing Andy how to cast with a mutiplier, for someone who'd never used one before he did very well. Baits were ragworm, rigs were double runner on 4oz gemini on flattie fanatics.
First off the mark was me with this nice Schoolie of around 2lb.
Then Holford with a very small Bass of around 3/4 lb. Nothing after this for an hour then Holford landed this very fat Plaice.
We're pushed of the beach now by the tide and are fishing on the Dolos, I decide to try my luck with the spinner taking a nice sized Mackerel, seeing this Andy decided to set up a set of feathers and quite happily fished the rest of the day for mackerel, taking 15 in total for the freezer. all good sized fish too. Meanwhile Holford is spinning over to my left with a Rapala J11 on a 5ft spinning rod. Much to his suprise given the very bright conditions the rod is almost ripped from his hands by this Bass just topping 4lb.
I tried and tried to get by first bass by plug but alas it was not to be today, I did not have a J11 in my spinning kit. Then just over the top of the tide Holford bags another Bass of 4lb on the same plug.
So all in all not a bad day concidering we did not expect and Bass due to the conditions, Andy learned and can now hold his own with a multiplier, And we all got well sun burned.
