As long as your bait’s in the water though you’ve always got a chance.
The float dipped regularly, as the hook caught on rocks and kelp but when it went sailing away, I knew I had a fish on.
It fought very well indeed, especially as it used the pull of the tide to its advantage.
After a brief but feisty battle though, I brought it in and got it safely to where I had set up camp.
After yesterday’s ballan wrasse it was nice to get a bass.
