Well I was looking at a night in last night when about half 8 she said "aren't you out tonight then??". Taking this in the right way I assumed it was an invite so was out the door before she could change her mind.
back to my little mark I am working on with a light on the water and in with the new teeny SPs. Some 1.5inch paddle tail shads from AGM. Had several bumps but no hookup which was odd. Had a size 6 mullet hook in them which seemed about right and an SSG shot at the head on the line for weight. Coul djust about feel what was going on with the wind and felt several pulls and nibbles but no joy on a hookup.
After going through half a dozen lure I decided to try some new Senkos I just had, pure white with bits of salt stuck on them. Venom brand. Heavy Salt with trigger scent apparently (AGM).
Anyway, got hit first cast but missed the hookup. Using a 2g head with a size 4 hook on it.
next cast I was just pulling in real slow after letting it sink well and got a slight pull which I lifted into and all hell broke loose!!! Rod buckled completely over and new reel singing away just how you like it I had no control whatsoever for the first 10 seconds. Wondering if I had fluked a bass at that point as it was out of sight when it took where other takes I had seen flashes of pollack sides in the murk.
After what felt like ages of the rod buckled and reel singing I decided to tighten the drag as I was fishing heavy (??!) with 10lb G-Soul braid straight through, he continued to take line but I gained and saw it was just a pollack. About 1.5lb at a guesstimate.
JUST A POLLACK. You guys sooooo have to get a 2-10g rod and see how much fun they are!! Mental!!
Only fish of the night, they seem to get suspect once I fish has been caught and returned and shy away though you get flashes with no take. Very cautious fish.
Gonna have to take the Pafex stuff out next time and see if we can narrow down what they really like.
