[Ritchie Campion]

I've been plugging about a year now and was yet to catch a bass. I've had bass before and within the last year but only on bait.

I was supposed to be in the Ecrehous this week with a friend fishing and it was cancelled due to 23mph winds. So as a result I have the week off work. So today I decided to go for a quick bumble between surfs.

I started off with the mullet feed shallow and after about an hour I lost a nice fish by making a stupid mistake. I went to pick my fish up in the shallow water with a slack line rather then walking it up onto the beach and it shook the lure out right in front on me

Nevermind it was still buzzing. My knees were shaking like mad lol (is that normal)?

So I had a few casts with the feed shallow before changing to a zonk and first cast .... Bang..... fish on...

I did picture this fish but I lost the card for the camera a while ago and it only has an internal memory for about 5 pics and when I caught my second fish, the picture of this fish got deleted!

Next cast.......

another fish on and this one although small gave a really good little scrap!

Then it was packing up time and off for a surf............. What a day

You'll be catching a lot more now, and wonder how on earth they managed to evade you up until now. I'll be out there with you in a few weeks - hopefully we'll get the chance to go for a little bumble .
