Could not get out on the yak this morning, the misses needed the car with the roof rack, and my handy rack is broken.So sat there last night pondering what to do and where to

go, weather report was good so decided to go…. yes you guest it “Basing” but from shore! yes back to rock hopping for the day.

Got there for sunrise and it was well worth it another beauty, I have been so lucky

with the weather on Tuesdays its got to be bad next week.

Anyway got down to fishing at about 7 ish, bit slow at first but luckily enough I hooked up with a fish that felt pretty good with deep slow knocks to indicate a good size,

played it for about five minutes but she spat the hook! GRRRR, thought to myself have I become a rusty shore Angler.

Put it out of my mind, well tried to but every now and again it crept back into my line of thought and felt like kicking myself for loosing a good fish.

still very slow fishing until one hour before high water, then all hell broke loose, I had a manic two hours fishing
with bites every cast I could not believe it.

Ended up with 7 Bass best aprox 4.5lb but they all were around the 3lb mark brilliant day roll on next Tuesday.

All seven fish returned
