A couple of us hit Somerset yesterday. What a day!!! We had two boats and first tried around the spit for a scorer and a rat. Then left and headed to Beams Ck where they had two before I had even got there - guess who has much less horsepower
Just after I pulled up the mate gets nailed by a 51cm brute (fork length of course) and then gives me the secret colour slider and jig head. Next drift I get my first scorer at about 38cm. A few more passes for no result and I head towards Pelican Flats where I got another rat on a Mask Vib. Can see fish but not much doing so then head around to a location I have caught a couple from before. I got two pretty quickly but both were small. Then I tried a rev head/squidgy combo and got nailed on a pause in the retrieve. Great fight and 48.5cm of bass goes into the live-well.
We all headed back to Beams Ck for nothing, then I moved to another bay that I have had good success at. I started my drift based on saved GPS points and all of a sudden the sounder screen filled with solid thick active lines.From there we just had a ball. I upgraded the smaller fish in the well and got hammered by another that went 46 to the fork but was massively fat and fought like a steam train. Last count was around 20 fish for the two boats.
A great day indeed.
I have some photos but every time I try to post pictures lately my computer logs me off the net so I won't bother.
