NEWKID 27,210 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) After Fridays experience with the tope on the kayak, this morin was take 2.. We decided to drift the same reef, and I really wanted to catch a bass.. For the first couple of drifts we just couldn't keep out of the rough stuff, losing a few lures, we shortened ther drift as it seemed the first 100 yards or so was too rough.. This proved successful as the next drift my rod doubled over and a decent fish was on, it took line and battled well, I knew it wasn't a pollack this time and as it broke surface our quest for a Guernsey bass off the yak was complete. A cracking morning and nice bass around 5lb.. Edited August 4, 2014 by NEWKID 10 Quote Link to post
