Popular Post Hoop Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2023 Heyhoooo.. With weather wreaking havoc over Bassy plans in recent weeks, and having been spurred on with texts including pictures and tales of Bass to plastic earlier in the day... with wind forecast looking OK a quick session was held down the Bay. More often than not, low water over a moderate tide suspends sediment in the water along the bay making it less than ideal but it was convenient for an hour or two to blow off the cobwebs.. Didn't expect much but was made up with this little chap.. and a first on the lure gear. Geoff, Andy135, mick and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Looks like good rewards for your efforts, a trout is such a good bonus, I would of been stoked with that. Hoop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Impressive stuff Steve 👍. That's a good catch. Were you targeting the trout or just a happy bycatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be lying if I said yes.... Had them on bait up Hillhead way, years ago, free lining rag on ebbing tide couldn't miss.. River Meon (inland from Hillhead) holds healthy head of ST and knowing anglers from that syndicate, steady catch reports flows throughout the year and electro surveys conducted in past years.. sluice at Hillhead Harbour - one way in and out. The bay, I thought, would be out of range.. assuming ST would hang around closer to the river system they were born!? Interestingly, I'd heard dits from folk concerning the spot I had previously taken you to (within pompey harbour), that said it used to be a hotspot for ST. (presumably from the Wallington) Interesting though, that same mark has turned up flounder, gurnard and ST.. all to metals.
