Shock Bass on feathers

#1 Post by steveoel »

Some will get a great kick out of this

As you may have seen from my previous posts im all for the Bass laws and have strong feelings towards thoses who flaunt them. :evil:

So my negitive thoughts have caused karma to come back and bite me in the arse!!! :roll:

While jigging for Mackerel on Fenit Pier last night i caught (and released with min stress or delay, except to me :lol: :lol: ) a bass.
I had no idea they went for feathers.
Anyone ever have this experience???

yeah it happened to me only the once in over 20 years of fishing .bass are predators so any thing that flashes past them can induce a strike
