club shore match

Fished the club shore match last week. One of the better matches as the fish decided to play.
Species we were after was bass smooth hounds and tope.
The smoothies made  an appearance but the bass and tope decided to stay away.

Sanny with the first smoothie and ended up with 15 fish and winning the match. 

Myself with a smoothie of 91cms giving me the longest fish for about half an hour and ended up with 6 fish to come 2nd. 

Frank with his first smoothie they do get bigger Frank.

Shane with his only smoothie at 96cms which gave him the longest fish and came in 3rd.

Shane also holds the longest fish for the year in a club match nice one.

Species Hunt

Went fishing with my son Shane on a few species hunt. First we went for some wrasse and we had a few. Nothing big but ticked a few boxes on thee species list.

Next we went for some Smooth Hounds and Tope. No tope wanted to play but some small Smooth Hounds did show up biggest one at 5lbs 4ozs.

We headed out last night with some bait we had left from the club match on wens night. Picked our spot on the beach as the wind was howling and white waves heading into the beach. A nice results for Shane as he landed 3 nice bass from 3lbs to 4lb range. A blank session for me the only difference I noticed was Shane was using a different trace just goes to show you. 

That now makes us both on 18 species each.
