Berkley DEX Long Shot 14cm Wakasagi Lure

Gear

Planned on a little trip out for this morning and ended up staying up all night in anticipation.. so I got to the mark at 4am, threw the waders on and went to pull out my spinning rod, only I had made a critical error and took the top half of my beach rod by mistake, so I had to go back home and grab it.. I made it back out for 4.30am. I waded out and started casting my new berkley dex lure, and few casts in while the lure was near the surface I see a bass mouth rising and hit the lure but didn't hook up, so I kept at it with full confidence the fish were there and not too long after I hooked into a nice 46cm bass just as the sun rose over the horizon. Stunning morning to be out and finally getting some good fishing in!
