Now for something different .. a bit of Bass fishing
Long baking hot day at Studland with family during which time I spent 3 hours out on the kayak. Some really big bass about as I drifted across the weed. Managed three schoolies on turn of tide that all went safely back on the Black Minnow. It was a case of paddling in and drifting out with the offshore. Casting in the channels amongst the weed. I had a big Pollack follow but did not convert.

Lovely stuff. What stage of the tide were you fishing? I've spent a lifetime fishing Studland and the surrounding and have had best times just off the race (studland side) in a small boat surface plugging for bass right next to old harry rocks, exciting stuff, especially trying to steer the boat and land the fish! Occasional fly fishing sand eel patterns from the main beach in the evening can be good... always wondered about the brackish bays along the ferry road holding decent bass... one day i'll give em a go.

Nick I went out just on turn of tide after low. Lots of Bass there but quite tough staying in position and not getting snagged in weed. Previously I have fished just off boat channel with some success.
