    Report on-board Galloper

    headed out to try some new marks I fancied trying for a while before the weather picked up again. Anyone that knows me understands that I love a bit of exploring. We had passed some of these bits last winter and said they looked bassy. To be honest the day started with a long steam and slight panic from the skipper. the water was far more coloured than I expected. We had a quick go on the first mark but it wasn't fishing. It was on to plan B. 2-3 miles further out to our next mark where thankfully the water was a far better colour. Having never fished it for bass we set up a long drift over what looked like the best part. I. Must admit I was surprised at how quickly the lads were into fish. We had a couple of bass but then it went quiet. It seemed they were tight on one bit so over the next couple of drifts I was able to consentrate our efforts on to that shoal. The lads changed to the same lures too which were out fishing everything else.
    The stamp was really good. Lots of fish 4-6lb and the biggest going 7lb to Ivan. As the drift slowed we had some fantastic fishing. Definitely the best so far this autumn. There were numerous fish following hooked fish to the boat. By this time I wasn't bothering with the net. Just swinging 4-5lb bass aboard as there wasn't time for the net. If I'd had the net I could have been netting the random fish too! We even had double hookups on the same lure on assist hooks! The fish eventually stopped feeding so we got the anchor down. Managed a strap conger and a hound among the pouting. After a break we went in search of bass again. The first two marks were a bit quiet but as we got closer to home we found another load of bass.
