Couldn't resist going back out tonight after getting bass the last 2 nights. I saw the craziest thing while wading out, bioluminescent plankton were lighting up every step I took, never seen anything like it in my life, ended up messing about with that for a while before I actually started fishing... Anyways I was fishing for about an hour before I had a hard hit from a bass just as the tide turned and this bass was stripping line like crazy! After I got that fish in and dispatched I quickly got back to casting, and the second cast I got another bang, this one fought even harder! Another lovely bass of 49cm, I wanted to return this fish but because my lure had treble hooks and it swallowed it so deeply, I had to dispatch it. I could have kept fishing but because of the treble hooks I decided not to continue. So I need to change my hooks to singles for next time.
