Well Alex and I got out at dawn this morning hoping for some sussex bass. Conditions weren't great-May rot has dirtyed the water. But saw a few bass moving (finally), but sadly neither of us connected.
A quick bacon sandwich and coffee, and a change of venue later, we found some clearer water. I had a couple of follows (looking better), and finally a schoolie decided to play ball. OK nothing to get excited about size wise, but it was on a surface lure, and Patchinko 100 in fact , nice splashy take and spirted fight. Brilliant little lure, casts surprisingly well for it size, and has that same snakey action. So the topwater lures are working, and I am a happy happy plugger.
Thanks to Alex for the excellent company (and the Bacon sandwich), Hopefully things are kicking off properly now-fingers crossed.
