Popular Post GPSguru Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 This was just a quick morning session as I had to be back for the school run in the early afternoon. I was hoping to launch at 8:00am, but the traffic was horrendous on my 5 mile trip to the slip and I ended up launching at 9:00am. Today it was just me as Billy no mates.🤣 Even at 9:00am the estuary was covered in a thick mist, but I knew that once I was clear of the navigation channel the mist would clear. Due to lack of time my plan was to visit a wreck at 6miles, but once I got onto the open water the sea was flat which enabled me to travel at 30kts+, so the plan quickly changed to a 12 mile wreck. I decided that today would be an SPJ day and I would resist the temptation to reach for the Red Gills ! Once on the wreck the first drop resulted in snagging on the wreck and losing the last of my leaf jigs which are no longer available. After re tying the leader using the PR bobbin tool, I attached a 150g Osoi jig as the wreck is in 140ft but it was neaps, so very little tide flow. The Bass were at home today and the first fish was a 5lb’er which put up a magnificent scrap on the SPJ rod. Over the next 2 hours this was followed by a further 4 bass which were slightly smaller at about 3 – 4lb. 12:00 midday soon arrived and it was time to head in, and after an effortless 12.5mile trip I was back on the slipway at 12:25 ish. A good day, with a round trip of 28Nm ……… A misty start, Fish on ! 5lb Bass Smaller Bass Going back in at 35knts suzook12, thejollysinker, Andy135 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
