Experienced Carp Angler Shane Hammond produced this 11.5lb bass on a Lure Rod! Weighed approx. 6 hours after catch the fish would have lost a little weight but was still massive.
The fish was caught at the turn of the tide on Monday 28th on the Porthcawl coastline on none other than a surface popper, strange when you take into account that when gutted it was full of small flounder.
The fish is one of two double figures in the last week from the same destination and we are sure that Shane will now try his hand at bass fishing more in the future!
Meanwhile there have also been increasing number of rays showing up around Witches Point on sandeel and still smoothhound showing off Newton Point and Sker. One of the best summers to date, and only July!
Matthew Riddler produced yet another Monster from the legendary White Water 4. this huge 160lb blue shark capped off a day which produced 18 sharks in total, with another 8 being missed. 6 were landed by Matthew.
During an annual August holiday in Mevagissey, Cornwall, Barry Osborne and his friend Phil Hingley fished off Barry’s Warrior 165 named ”Welsh Warior”.
Pouting and Mackerel. The best of the catches were an 8lb bass caught by Barry and a 13.5lb pollock caught by Phil. both fish were caught on firetail Jellyworms and both released! They also produced a mass of good sized whiting by fishing daylight feathers tipped with fresh mackerel.
