Gear

9ft Abu Garcia Devil & 11ft Daiwa D-wave bass rod

Got out on my new e-cargo fat tyre bike (proper beach tyres 😄) to a remote local mark I've wanted to fish forever but it's very hard to get to on foot. Fishing the last few hours of the ebb, I cast out half a mackerel on a pennel pulley rig hoping for a big bass, and while waiting for bites I was spinning with a savage gear seeker. 2 casts in I got a hit from a very acrobatic sea trout, first time I've ever experienced this, thing was going nuts and jumped out of the water a few times! I just took a quick pic on the measure mat before putting him back as I don't have a licence.. yet 😄Anyway, fished for another bit but no more joy, still was more than delighted to catch a suprise sea trout.
