Report:
headed to the north coast yet again to try for a bass, yet again. the weather was great so i couldn't miss out on the opportunity
there were plenty of people on the beach enjoying the long-awaited break in the weather
there was even a few guys on a jet ski messing about in the waves, and at one stage towing a water skier needless to say: NO BASS but i did manage a couple of coley. it was just nice to feel something pulling on the other end of the line!
managed to get one of the fish on the fly
the surf was pretty big and the fly fishing was damn near impossible but i had a chuck for a short while and was chuffed to catch something. i'll get a bass on the fly yet. and i will return to that beach and fish it proper with the fly when i get the chance i.e. when there is little to no surf - if ever! it has some fantastic features that are crying out bass..good to get out
happy enough with the wee result i suppose
btw, there were some major changes to the beach caused by the mad tides and waves we've been seeing over the last few weeks. some big boulders and rocks that were once in a compact certain area, and for as long as i can remember, have been shifted into a line along the length of the beach, the furthest being maybe 100yards away
a few pics below for the hell of it
cheers

great fun on light gear, deadly wee scrappers on fly gear
