Outgoing tide - 8 pm to midnight.

Weather light north east wind

Great sea conditions with lots of surf.

Baits Lug, Rag, Bluey and sand eel,

Rigs Pully Rigs. and 3 hook flappers.

Catch Mick blank. Me 2 Bass and 1 x 27cm coal fish.

Report.

Only decided to fish when Mick rang at 6 pm. First hour and a half we did not get a bite. We were contemplating moving to another nearby beach when Mick had a bite which he missed. We decided to give it another 15 minutes. We were just about to leave when my rod tip gently dipped and fell back and slack lined me. When i tightened up i felt a good bite and struck into a good fighting fish. When the fish appeared close in the surf it looked like a bar of silver under the light of my headlight. Thinking it was a seatrout i took it careful but when landed it turned out to be a Bass of 43 cm. A rare fish for this end of the Country . After this shock we fished on until midnight during which time Mick missed two more good bites and I landed another Bass of 42cms and a 27 cm coal fish as well as missing two more slack line bites and losing a much bigger Bass in the surf .
The Bass were caught on a pully rig with 2/0 hooks and 4 lug as bait.
