Light Plug Action 02-08-2011

Fished a deep water, gin clear mark over a mix of sand, kelp and rock, just East of Salcombe. Fished from one hour after low, on the push, in amongst the gullies. Tackle was the Nories Seabass Program 5-12g rod, with a Daiwa '10 Certate 2506 loaded with YGK 0.8 braid. Various light plugs and a few soft plastics were thrown into the sea.

Started out with the SP's, working the lure off the bottom, amongst the thick kelp, twitch and deadstick. Had a very subtle take, and swiftly landed a Wrasse, followed soon after with a Pollack on the drop;

Switched over to the small plugs, and began to start taking Pollack in large numbers, mostly on every cast. The little OSP Asura working well. Switched up to a bigger lure, and went with the Duo Tide Minnow 90S, and worked it at distance. Again, as it approached the rock shelf in front of me, more and more Pollack. Then on a long cast, couple of turns of the handle and fish on. Much more spirited fight, and as it came close, could see it was a nice Bass. As it ran in the gulley, it was flanked at all times by two other Bass, till landed. Got the measure out, and it went to 52cm to the top of the tail;

Moving on, and finished the session by working the Duo Tide Minnow 125SLD at distance, and had the shakey takes from a couple Mackerel, constantly thrashing till I shook them off the hook;
