Report:
a funny kind of day, went to check my crab traps and decided to spin for a few fresh macks at a mark nearby. got a few macks pretty quickly ( they were bursting everywhere). after a while i noticed a few better fish moving so tried fishing a small bit deeper and was rewarded with a solid take and a bass of 2 lbs, this was soon followed by a slightly better fish which gave a great fight. a very heavy shower and an increase in the wind blew me off this mark.

next stop was a small beach near home in the hope of a few flats and maby a stray bass, especially with a nice surrf running. this was surprisingly quiet with little activity until i returned from the car to find a slack liner on my scratching rod, suspecting a bass i wound down and felt a satisfying resistance. once in the shallows it went balistic, taking 4 attempts to beach whereby i found out it was a nice mullet of 3.4lbs with a palm sized turbot in tow. not the bass but pleasing all the same. strange to get one on a 20lb flouro hooklength, size 2 hook..who needs 5lb hooklengths and groundbait. ..went quiet after this with one suspecteddropped bass breaking the routine

well done lumpy.. the mullet looks bigger than 3.4lb!!!

Or turbot is size of two euro coin
just messing... nice one, well done

nice fishin lumpy , i would love to catch a turbot

I love getting random catches like that! Nice fishing
