Report:
Bass ban lifted i decided to head out for a couple of hours, especially as the next 7 days are looking very good (cortaz report)
started off a bit weedy and i was checking baits every ten min or so to remove weed and refresh the lug whitch i dug a few hours earlier. as the drop started the weed lessened and fishing big baits got easier.
i was using 2 or 3 big black lug per hook to tempt a bass but nothing was showing.
11pm came and the rod rattles, strike, fish on and a few runs and retrieves later it was lost just as i lifted the net, first bass of the year gone i thought
quickly rebaited and lobbed it out again.within a minute or two the rod rattled again and same runs and retrieve but felt a bit stronger.
as i got the fish under the net i was nicely surprised to have a smoothie and not the bass i was expecting
haha still no bass yet this year but a nice smoothie to add to my list for 2010!!
will stick a pic up later!
not what you were expecting, but a hell of a consolation 
tried monster lug last night but the doggies just hammered it 
and its too hard to dig to be wasting!!
