Bait: Fresh Lug, Feathers
Having blanked on my last 2 outings, I decided to try somewhere different tonight.
I joined the holidaymakers on Towyn Beach.
I had managed to get a small handful of worms earlier on in the day over low.
Having heard that the Mackerel were showing along the coast, my plan was to fish 1 baited rod and feather periodically with the other.
Whilst feathering, out the corner of my eye, I saw a nice little rod bend on the baited rod.
I dropped the beachcaster and took up the slack on the other rod. I was waiting for another twitch........
Nothing happened!
I put the rod back on the tripod and carried on feathering.
5 minutes later, the same thing happened. I missed another good bite whilst messing around after the Mackerel.
I reeled in and both baits were battered!
A few more casts later an again a decent bite.
This time I was on hand to retrieve almost instantly.
Fish on!!!!!
I did have a twitchy moment when the line went slack, but I was relieved when I felt the weight on again.
A Bass of about 2lb was landed, photographed and sent on his way.
The feathers didn't produce tonight.You have to try these things though :)
I will be returning!
Happy Days!!!
