Bass PB

I was out chasing the bass with lures again last Tuesday, the final day of a few days of hot weather was breaking as I got to the base of the North Yorkshire cliffs. I had a few casts with some metal lures in spots close to where I scored my sea trout and then headed out around the rock edges. I swapped to a shallow diving plug to try and avoid the kelp and only succeeded in losing the plug. As darkness wasn't far away so out of the box came a white soft plastic weedless and weightless paddle tail lure. I wanted something I could work very slowly over the weed without it sinking and snagging up.
My plan paid off as I worked the kelp beds and 4 bass to 4lb slid on to the rocks and I was over the moon. All the takes came in a space of around an hour and a half up to dusk.
