I took the UL gear out last night for a short session at a local mark with lots of flow. It was a bit windier than I expected! Gusting force 6-7 sideshore blowing right to left with the tide running left to right made for some interesting lure control and bite detection issues.
I rigged up an xlayer on a 3g jig head but no takes on the 1st dozen or so casts so I swapped the xlayer for my favourite bass slider grub. 1st cast - fish on! Only a schoolie of about 1lb but it gave me the confidence to carry on.
A few casts later, a better fish of about 2lb.
Then a nice fat pollack.
One more tiddler bass, then I changed to a small jointed countdown to finish the session with another pollack.
Windy but worth it.
