Hayling Sat Night

[eddiec]

Arrived with the Sloth at 11;30pm with not a Smut hunter insight

Had the whole beach to ourselves

Lewis was tired from paint balling all day so didn't really fish but i used a double squid bait on 6/0 penal and bunch up rag worm on a pulley 4/0

Even though the tide was not the best the onshore wind gave a lovely surf

Had small bites from the off but didn't have my first bass till the tide starting ebbing fast


Caught on the double squid bait 20 yds out weighing just over 2lbs not the biggest but a start

Re baited casted out and within 10 Min's my other rod took a nose dive, struck in and could feel it was a better bass!!!



6lb9oz taken 10yds out on bunched up rag worm

With the odd thunder clap and lightening it was time to go 2am

Think i might give up on the smuts as i just cant get a double and stick with the bass

Sorry about the picture quality from my paint splatterd work phone Time for a new camera
