Report: Heavy rain put paid to my fishing plans for Saturday but I had ordered bait so I was determined to get out on Sunday. After checking my list twice to make sure I had everything packed,,,I still managed to forget the most important item,,,the crab , and had to turn back and get it . After some heavy showers all the way down the N11,,,It cleared nicely for me when I arrived at my chosen location,,,,a favourite Bass mark of Fishfaces . I got there first this week,,,,after craftily arriving an hour before Fishface, and set up the shelter in case it lashed. I needn't have bothered ,as it turned out a lovely evening after. I sent a crab bait out in search of a Smoothie into the flat calm sea ,, and sent out a two hook flapper with lug/mack on one hook and rag on the other. I had a doggie on the crab,,,,the first of many . While baiting up ,,,I realised that my finger had a nice gash in it ( no good deed goes unpunished,,,,,I was helping a lad move his caravan from his garden when he caught my hand while putting the handbrake on ) and that the blood and guts from lug/rag etc would make things very uncomfortable for me. A quick call to Dr Fishface and he ensured that there were plasters on the way,,,,, I even got rubber gloves from him ,,,fair play to him. While he was getting me a plaster,,, I had a knock in close on the flapper. I lifted into it and realised I had a decent fish on ,,,,After a short battle I saw the big gob on him which confirmed it was a Bass,,,,thank you Lord . I landed him , took a quick pic and after a short debate in my head,,,,decided to release this very welcome Billy as it was so near the Ban. I don't think he could believe it himself judging by the look on his face . And speaking about looks on faces,,,,Fishfaces was priceless when he arrived with my medical supplies and saw the photo
