I decided to fish a rocky erea I know in hope of catching some bass, on paper the location was right.
1. fishing a incoming tide.
2. plenty of crabs hiding under these rocks.
However after 1hr of casting I was getting no where, do I move on or stay there waiting for the bass to come in with the tide?
At this point I decided to stop fishing and have a cup of tea and a smoke.
after a few minutes I noticed some gulls hitting the water around a pontoon, there was a boat tied to it and I thought the people were throwing food into the water.
I then noticed distubance in the water .... fired a z-xlaw into that erea and was rewarded with a small bass (only 1lb not worth showing you a pic of it), I continued to hit that same spot but the fish were gone.
I returned back to fishing the rocky erea still getiing nothing, then 30 about minutes later I noticed the gulls were hitting that same spot again, once again I fired out a z-claw out to the pontoon and caught another 1lb bass. :-D
At this point I decided to stop fishing, I didn't want to keep pulling in these small bass, but I would like to thank the gulls for showing me where the fish are, and just because a rocky coast line on paper looks perfect for bass doesn't guarantee a catch.
From now on I will take much more notice of the gulls and less on my gut feelings.
