Sunday 18th December....not quite over yet!

Well I had pretty much accepted the end of the season, but a mate of mine down in Devon was still catching well so last Sunday we arranged to meet up on his local mark.

Clear water and shelter has been hard to come by of late so it was nice to arrive with the sun setting, the tide steaming through and perfect conditions. Soft plastics were the order of the day, or savagear sandeels to be precise, bounced along the bottom in the current.

Pete was in immediately, with a nice fish of just over 4lb. He then bagged another and lost one more before I finally hit one and after a few good runs I had a nice fish of 3lb 10oz on the shore. My best fish for a few months so I was well happy. The tide had dropped off now and with a leaky pair of waders making fishing pretty chilly I decided to call it a day.

No picture unfortunately as my camera died just as I was trying to take the shot.

Back down for another try in the morning so hopefully a christmas eve bass to report on...that would be something!
