Me and Chris decided to take the 100mile trip to Woolacombe for some bassing yesterday. Arrived at 9pm to find a huge surf running but the water as clear as gin which was nice. Walked 800yards down beach and saw a shoal of 100's of scad yards from the beach in a foot of water...shame i didnt have my fly rod! Tackle was simple...carp rod, fixed spool line loaded with braid, 3oz plain lead and pat pennel 2o hooks loaded with fresh lug. Waist deep in the surf, lob the lot out, finger on line and wait! Bass take very strongly on braid and even a 1lb fish feels like a monster...great fun. We missed loads more than we landed and ended up with 5 bass to about 2lb.Fished until 3am and arrived home at 5am a wee bit tired but happy!
