Well as nice as my warm bed felt at 4am this morning, it was time to get up and head to a local mark, early high water meant I was hoping the bass might be in a mood to play.
Well the first hour pasted with nothing but a few bit of weed to trouble my lures, Even the mighty feed shallow went unattacked!!.
Well Bugger this I thought and clipped on my patchinko 100, my thinking was it had saved me from a blank a few days before. Second cast a schoolie hammered it in a spray of water. Hehe blank dodged again!! and nice lip hook meant a quick release. Maybe four or five casts later, BANG fish on, and definately a better fish. The bass made a beeline for a nearby wooden post that sticks out of the beach. But some steady pressure turned it's head.
Shortly after a nice bass hits the beach, while no monster, definately not a schoolie this time, 59cm and about 3.5lbs.
This bass REALLY wanted this lure!!!
Inspite of inhaling the lure it popped free easily, and the bass roared away almost as soon as it felt the water.
I have to say that I think the Patchinko 100 is going to be a brilliant lure, gentlely worked it snakes nicely with just the tip of it's nose out of the water, casts ALOT further than it's weight might surgest. ALOT of bass are going to fall for it.
So two bass on topwater lures when subsurface plugs weren't working, before work, GREAT start to the day!!!
