Thank you Tim & George for helping me that day !!!! :laserswords: :clap: :clap: And thankyou Mr Fish for my brilliant lures !!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :aarrg:
Hmmmmmmm??? could that be a distance thing i wonder??? as i know that hitting big(ish) distances whilst beachcasting, doesn't always seem to be the best optionGriff said:Congrats on getting another pic published Luke! That was a good day out - warm, calm and the bass were biting. George & Luke outfished us both. Boys 5 : Dads 2 as I recall :badlol:
I have to say it was a pretty even fight Luke had on his hands - I grabbed hold of him round the waist as I think, as it looked like the bass might have pulled him in :muttley: Super, super fish though from what turned out to be the hot spot of the day. FISH ON!
Marc, good theory but not on this occasion. For a start, George casts at least as far as me with his BushWacker, and in fact Luke's fish was hooked a fair way out. Si and I also had hook-ups from the same spot, although Si dropped his fish and I landed one and droppped one. It was a mad 10 minutes as we even had a double hook-up - me and George. Luke played it so cool though. I was chatting with Si and we just heard the now legendary cry: "Fish On!". As I say, I held onto him and he hauled it in single-handedly. It was a cracking fish, regardless of being 8 years old or not. Well done Luke - roll on September again I say!!mad one said:Hmmmmmmm??? could that be a distance thing i wonder??? as i know that hitting big(ish) distances whilst beachcasting, doesn't always seem to be the best option
Next time we go fishing I will be asking Basswalker for his advise on lures and not yours :badlol: Maybe I will start catching then :lol:Lewisman said:Yep, distance wasnt the key that day, but Luke did outfox me a couple of weeks later, when he nailed the biggest of the day (around 3lb's), on a short 15yd cast on a Maria Chase, while i was lobbing my Zonk out around 40 / 50 yds !! It aint all about long distance with Bassing, that's for sure. All my better fish have been caught within 20yds of the shore this year.
I had my back to him that day, when he cried "FISH ON !!!!" :muttley: :lol:

I know that at most of the places i fished when i first started plugging, all i seemed to do, was to get the lure as far from the shore as possible,Lewisman said:Yep, distance wasnt the key that day, but Luke did outfox me a couple of weeks later, when he nailed the biggest of the day (around 3lb's), on a short 15yd cast on a Maria Chase, while i was lobbing my Zonk out around 40 / 50 yds !!
