Well the change in the clocks has meant a return of light before I have to head to work, so of course that means a "on the way to work session".
Dropped in on a mark in the Shoreham area that I have looked at a couple of times, but haven't really fished this year. But given the wind and tide this morning, it appeared to be the right choice.
Bearing in mind that Sussex suddenly seems to be somewhat short of bass, I was pleasently surprised when this bass decided that the OSP Rudra that I was working jerkbait style looked tempting. A really good scrap in a pretty heavy flow, and nearly falling in while landing it resulted in a nice 3lb bass.
Dropped another a couple of casts later, I think I was getting a bit carried away with the jerks!!, On for a couple of headshakes then gone. But bass before work, means I am smiling today. Will return to the mark with a few other lures, as I think it will result in some bass.
Have to say that the OSP Rudra is becoming a favourate mid water lure, it has been out fishing my one and only Zonk.
So still a few fish around, having to think more carefully about where to look for them, but season isn't over quite yet.
