Popular Post Scotch_Egg2012 Posted September 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Firstly apologies for no photos, it helps if you remember to take your phone off charge from the car and bring it on the boat. Anyways on to the report, out with Ray again after the Bass, motored out at 06:45 first target was to try and get some live baits. Headed towards Dean Tail but came across a huge amount of birds working before we got there, spent an hour hitting the macks with plenty for live baits then headed out to the French Bank. Got there a little early as not a lot of tide running, I was starting on the plastics and Ray would try the live baits and we'd see which was working. I dropped a shad down stuck the rod in the holder and was looking to feather some more live baits. Not 30 secs after I'd dropped the feathers and the shad rod slammed over, strange as the shad was just bouncing along and wasn't expecting a hit until the tide increased. A plump Bass of around 3lb soon started the tally. I was continuing to feather and happened onto a good Shoal 9f small mackies, perfect livebaits. Shortly after Ray had his first on the lives. I decided to swap over and use the joeys, what followed was a bit of a Red letter day, final boat tally was 23 Bass ranging from 2-6lb with the biggest going to me. It worked out perfectly as the take zone was very precise, we'd get the Bass hit, fought and landed. I'd then drop straight onto the feathers and hit the mackerel shoaled up on the back of the bank so keeping a constant stream before the drift. Decided halfway through to swap back onto the shads to get some practice in, every drift for the next 2 hrs resulted in a Bass. Very nice as we were the only boat there for a while before a charter turned up. Few more boats showed around lunchtime by which time the Bass had started to go off the feed. End result 23 Bass and more Mackerel than you could shake a stick at which will be perfect for winter baits Edited September 12, 2021 by Scotch_Egg2012 mick, jonnyswamp, Bass&Chips and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
