Amazing stuff pat wow , some great fishing going on there any tips???? What lure you using, CHUG BUG?

brilliant stuff pat well done

The following morning I was out and caught this beauty. The fish faught like a demon and stayed very deep. It was by far and away the best fight I've had from any bass so far and I honestly thought I was into a fish of the calibre of a 15lber. When weighed he came in at 9lb 12oz. That surprised me . Still a great fish though .

jesus pat mate fairplay your on a roll

Thanks for all the positive feedback lads.

....your on a roll

I'm trying to beat last year, when I managed seven fish over the 9lb mark....I'm nearly there .

Well done Pat,
I just spotted this post now - and well done on the second specimen as well.
I will definitely have to get the spinning rod out now and have a crack at one of those big fellas.

.....What lure you using, CHUG BUG?

The plug in the picture is a Green Mackeral Aile Magnet from Duel/Yozuri. Its a great lure. It suits situations where there is deeper water as it dives to 4 feet and is ideal for use from a boat. I reckon it has been my most effective lure over the years. The one in the pic is 125mm but the 105mm version is effective also. I normally get mine from Harris Sports or else Monster Tackle, and if I was to give you a tip get these or some patchinko's from Padge73.

....well done on the second specimen as well.

Frank, I don't mean to be blowing my own trumpet , but this is actually my third one this season .

Thanks for the tips pat, great work again your having some great craic with the silver jaguars of the sea
