| Hayling island 20/05/10 After promising steve (scottish and mental) a good venue to fish over low water, me and bassmanrob took him to a venue on hayling island   a good low water mark for bass and hopes of a smutt were in mind , arrived at 7pm with the intentions of fishing hayling over low and then off to a ray mark for the flood , as the tide ebbed we were able to hold bottom around the 9 pm mark , bites were thick and fast on worm baits with the schoolie population on a feeding frenzy  ................... not a lot of interest on the big crab baits out for the bigger bass they were just hoovering up the worm baits  , i had 1 massive pull down on whole crab and like the keystone kops proceeded to strike , get the line caught under the rod rest and pull said rod rest and other rod over  proper schoolboy error , resulted in missed fish ! i think we all had good hits on crabs but all missed , as it was going good we decided to stay put and not move on risking the rising tides ferocious movement , we were wrong but however managed to stick it out untill 3 am when both rob and steve pulled in a string of weed containg about 21 -25 crabs each  that was the end of that session , no time to move on me and rob headed home and steve went off to fish the quay  , biggest bass of the night came in around the 2 lb mark , not really worthy of a pic but i need to add a report with some pics lol ................. A great night in great company and it was great to meet up with steve , he really is scottish and a tad mental sorry it wasnt better steve but ill make it up to you when the hounds are in lee. __________________ If Everyday things are getting you down & stressing you out, Think like a Dog, If it cant be Eaten or Humped, Piss on it and walk away..     |

 Re: Hayling island 20/05/10 Was good to meet you and Rob , shame the fish wern't playing ball and that wind picked up..but thats fishing. I decided to use up some of the worm i had left and headed for town quay and fished high water until the start of the ebb at 6 a.m. and didn't get a sniff untill 10 mins before packing up !  One small Bass ( sorry Rob ) and a pin whiting to save the blank so all in all a good night out in good company and looking forward to the next trip already - minus the floating crab flotillas   45 minutes after calling it night i was sat in wetherspoons with a full english and mug of tea  __________________ Shore Species 2012: Dab-Flounder-Herring-L.S.Dogfish-Pouting-Shore Rockling-5 Bearded Rockling-Small Eyed Ray-Turbot-Whiting |

| Re: Hayling island 20/05/10 Well done on the bass Lee and was good to meet you Steve. Frustrating night for me, had some decent hits but just couldn't connect or keep them on when I did. Those lumps of weed that steve and I pulled in were something else! |
