Seal attack ....Almost

[Davemc]

I had a reasonable night on the bass even though I had three seals in front of me tonight,  All was fine whilst I waded chest deep until the biggest of the three ... Must have been a bull took a liking to my Patchinko ...it was huge and the faster I reeled the bigger the bow wave became and I could see the huge shadow under the surface   after a 40 meter chase I lifted the lure skywards from the water a few meters away from me  expecting to be no knocked over ! 

A lucky escape was declared  although I almost soiled my waders.

That was a strange night.

Wow! Sounds like a close shave there Dave! Glad you escaped to tell the tale. Time for some new waders then?

Did you catch anything or did the seals kill the fishing?

I once had a seal take a wrasse I had hooked. All of a sudden the wrasse took off like a steam train... except it wasn't the wrasse I was playing. The seal popped its head out of the water about 30 yards away with my wrasse in its mouth. 🤬

5 bass between 45/50 the trick was trying to avoid the very small tiddlers as the place was thick with them .
