Decided to pop out for a cheeky hours fishing on the way home, Strong westerly wasn't helping and I noticed that the weed that normally holds all the baitfish has begun to die back.
But twenty minutes of switching between patchinko100 and a subsurface minnow. I decided to try a different technique. So banged the pactinko up and across the wind, and then threw more line into the bow that had formed on the cast, enabling ,me to retrieve the lure straight down wind, but at the right distance from the shore. Half way through the first retrieve-BANG!!!
A good scrap later, I got to slide this onto the bank

Forgetting about dorsal spines isn't a good idea, and the drop of blood at the bottom of the pic is mine!!
Inspite of woofing the lure, it unhooked easily, and about two and half pounds of bass zoomed back into the deeper water.
Nice way to spend an hour on the way home from work.
Off out again later, so fingers crossed!!
