I headed back to the same beach last night in search of the monster bass, armed with some new rigs with heavy duty 4/0 hooks. But the surf was very weak and there were no bass bites. I did manage a small flounder (23 cm), two dogfish and a five bearded rockling, despite using 4/0 hooks. Something was stripping the bait, probably small founder, but I stuck with the larger hooks in the hope that a bass might show up.

Great session Frank and you deserve it nobody is putting in the effort that you are. Pity about "the one that got away" But at least you know she and here sisters are about. i have no doubt that you will catch one better soon
