Steve and Schoolie

Bit of a story to this session. I was keen to go back having refined the rigs and go again on the sole. My mate Steve (different one) was up for it. And because I had accidently dropped him in it with a local bait supplier for meandering through his traps, I invited marina regular Richard out by way of apology.. As much as he shouldnt have been raiding traps, when I think back to when I was his age I think I couldnt really say that the potential for each tube to be briming with first class bait wouldnt have had me having a poke through them. So, to salve my concience I offered him the chance to come night fishing, which he doesnt get to do so often, after clearing it with his mum.

Richard with sole

A similar night to the previous one, although with less species. I managed seven sole in the end, with three worthy of the dinner plate. Richard too got amongst them, with the refined mark II rig. He also managed a near sizeable bass on a live pout, as well as a multitude of other fishes. Steve also had the satisfaction of plenty of action. Very enjoyable, we left with the dawn, and another positive result in the bag with the sole rigs.
