Popular Post Josh Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 So I was invited down to Cornwall for a close friends 90th birthday, the plan was a surprise for him day out on one of the charters from looe boat to ourselves his daughter a friend granddaughter and I. on the Tuesday, so I’m not driving all that way without bringing my own boat …. Me and Ash drove down Saturday night, seperate, me towing arrived 2am’ish,Sunday head down for all over about an 1 n 45mins then we wer up n cooking bacon on the stove! out of the harbour and looking for fresh bait don’t know why because the plan Was to hit the lures on the reefs, kind of just goes hand in hand though fresh bait , well we didn’t find mackerel , but we wer hit with launce and a good 20 or so ! on goes the live bucket. off out to the marks and on goes a live eel ! first drift just about to wind up fully to re run the drift and bang the spinning rod goes into C shape reel spinning off ! You can’t get beat a good pollack take (on the right gear) No matter how big sharks get ! we had a few more nice ones and no tiddlers which was nice. after a while of slack we decided to try something different and pulled right tight inshore for bass. new for me so I opted for a float to get far away from the boat we both did . And on goes a live eel and drifted over a shallow reef area, 20minutes in whilst I was slow jigging on the other side of boat for wrasse. all hell breaks loose on the spinning rod with a float no where to be seen! fish thrashing on the surface 30 yards away the most anxious battle fish head turning and diving away at the net running up the bow of the boat compete nightmare. eventually graces the net ! A smidging under 6lb . I swear bass Look so big in the water and out . Such lumps. After that I turned and noticed that my other rod I was jigging with must of caught bottom and snapped the tip… new rod too .. but I didn’t really care because I was made up with the bass ! a day off Monday as it was due for howling wind and rediclous rain ! Slept in the car again absolutely terrible for you. then was out on the charter tues . It was a good day out but not bundles of fish .. was happy to be with the company when your 90 you may not get many more and inspiring to see him up on his feet fishing as hard as I can. Next stop a blue shark bash Iv got a couple friends who need there first one so ! Josh. oh .. a very unlucky lobster either raised his claw and ashes 4inch sidewinder hooked him or the lobster went for it we’ll never know specially now he’s brown bread. oh pollack goujons tonight wer lovely and the bass Geoff, Bass&Chips, Saintly Fish and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
