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!
