That's why we call it fishing mate, not catching. :lol:
What was different between the two sessions - time, tide, weather (not just cloud, temperature, wind direction and so on but stuff like was the pressure on the way up/down/stable etc), bait, rigs?
Sometimes there's no explanation for it. You can have two anglers fishing with exactly the same kit right next to each other (me and LSD have precisely the same rods, traces, bait etc most days, for example) and there can be a huge difference between the two catches.

At the risk of getting too technical, you can see the presssure at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php? ... ptnd&uom=E
It gives a rolling 24-hour plot of air pressure. I'm looking at it at about 19:30 and looking at the same time yesterday compared to today, today has the pressure falling while same time yesterday it was rising.
Maybe something to watch out for in future. Just to see if there is a link between your catch rates and what the air pressure is doing - high/low, falling/rising, steady etc.
A lot of pike fishermen report that low pressure coming in can bring pike onto the feed, so maybe the bass do the same.
I've just read through this post before submitting it and realised I've GOT to get out more.... :lol:

And you could have a look at http://ukbass.com/fishingbits/index.html
There's some method to their investigations on when the best time to catch is. Might as well benefit from their experience!
