Yep, truly an awesome dive tonight.
in very shallow water! I couldn't believe my eyes when Tom and I came across the shoal of bass; must have been 10-15 fish from 3-7lb! I spooked the shoal, they swam at Tom, Tom spooked them, they swam back at me and then back at Tom, I was just looking at them thinking which one?? then I saw Tom take a shot and promtly I took a shot at the nearest one (a 3lber)Tom ballzed his up
but I nailed mine through the head. Got out and dealt with the fish whilst the other 2 carried on. 2 mins later, fish in the bag loaded gun and slid on my belly in 2 foot of water only to be confronted by the BIGGEST mullet I have ever seen; must have been in the 11-12lb bracket; I panicked and took a hasty un-aimed shot at the fish which was only a meter from my gun, nailed it and all hell broke loose,,,,then no blooming fish....GRRRRRRR.
Caught up with the others, I missed a good sole. Nobby went of to my secret hole as he was feely very inadequate with his flounder. We decided to follow about 10 mins behind him, I nailed 2 flounder on the way over. Got to the hole and Nobby was cussing away about the fact that he went brain dead on some more jumbo mullet at least 20 of them in the 5-8lb range, but they had all buggered of by now.
Tom was feeling the cold and got out. Nobby and I decided to head back to where we spotted the bass; good call. When we got there we spotted 2 mullet one at 6lb and the other a lot bigger at around 8-9lb, Nobby nailed the 6lber and the biggy swam right past my spear, unfortunately Nobby was also in front of me wrestling a mullet, so didn't take a shot, instead helped Nobby tame the beast.
I know where I'm going tomorrow!!!
My bass 3lb and Nobby's mullet only 1lb I'm afraid!
Nah, just dead jealous, his was a whopping 6lb!!!
