Stopped off on the way home, a long day meant I was in need of some fishing.
So threw on some extra cloths and grabbed my LRF gear and got started. Almost straight away I missed a good bite-Grrrrrrr. But continued to fish, tight to structure for a couple of casts, and then longer casts straight out, winding down to gain tension, and then held that tension as the lure sunk and swung towards me (OTD?). Keep getting bites tight to structure, really felt like something small was trying to savage the end of the SP I was used-NOT the end with the hook in it sadly.
I decided a change of lure was in order, so I stuck on a Slim Mebura Stickbait I got from Ben at Art of Fishing. Got another really good bite, which I missed-AGAIN!!
But my next cast straight out, tightened down, and held-Then BANG fish on!!! Ok nothing big, but on the end of 0.3PE it was fun, and the contact was great.
But it was a surprise when I lifted this little guy from the water
Yeap I think I have found where the last few micro schoolie bass are hiding in sussex. Got to say there is no hope for me now, LRF just rocks, right up there with a 5lb bass hammering a topwater lure.
Loving the feel, the touch that you get. As you try and get and keep just a little tension with in this case a 0.6g Decoy jighead from Mick at Mrfish. Crazy six months ago I would have laughed at the idea of me fishing soft plastics let along LRF. But happy to admit that I was dead wrong.
Lost a couple of jigheads and Sp-but that means I fished for two and half hours and it cost about £2.50-Talk friendily on the pocket.
