We we arrived at the first bank we had the place to our selves. Drifting for an hour or so's saw a few weavers, dogs and cuttle fish attacking our sand eels. Later a lot of other boats had made their way out and there were soon 10 boats all running over the same area and more making their way on the horizon. With no bass were showing, nor bait fish we made the most of the ebbing tide and ran further west. The 2nd bank produced a few fish before it went dead. We often see the fish moved from bank to bank with the tide in that area; so moved west further to the next bank, here we found the fish and enjoyed 30mins of good fishing, before Sue Ellen (fishing along side Cerulean) ran straight over the top of the bank through the commercial and recreational boats fishing there. Killed the bank of fish. We made our way off shore to another 2 banks both dead! We'd only had 10 or so bass in the past 10hrs. We had one last mark to hit and that just happened to be on the run back in from the final bank, arrived there at roughly 5:30pm. Thankfully, we dropped on a shoal of feeding fish and over the next 3hrs we had 40 or so bass to 6lb. We ran out of live eel but continued to catch on lures and rag worm baits. John Golding with 5.5lb Bass John Bevan with 4.5lb Bass Dean Gifford with 6lb Bass By the end of the day the sea had turned into a sheet of glass; lovely evening to be on the water, got back into the marina around 9pm.
