Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
Brighton Lure Boat Inshore Bass Fest 27 November 2020
Brighton Lure Boat had not been out for a while due to the winds, and unfortunate accident getting off the boat!
We looked forward to welcoming James out with us as first-timer and keen Kayak fisherman or is it now not correct to say that!!! We were met with breezy conditions, clarity was ok the further out we went, and James request was not to blank (Bass) as he had on the floaty thing he uses, as he is a very keen angler and was willing to listen and learn which I hope he has I was hopeful of a good session. The first 40 minutes we moved around the western part of Brighton reefs, we picked up only 4 small ones, it was time move.
The decision to move rapidly to another area proved to be right and wow, omg, what happened in the next 2 1/2 half hours was stunning we already had 4 Bass but not really any size, so we advanced slowly over the area in anticipation of some action and bendy rods!
Brighton Lure Boat Let The Fest Begin
Our first drift across in the NE winds was slow due to the tide but this didn’t stop our silver hungry fish, we had around 6 on the first drift. What happened on the second drift I have never experienced, James was first into a fish around 2.5lb, and then the brother and sisters got involved, we had 14 in 9-minute drift, it was a case who get there’s unhooked the fastest and get back down before the drift ended!
The words fish on went out the window, the next drift produced our first ever squid, perhaps some reinvestment needed and buy some squid jigs although this was caught on a metal lure, Brighton Lure Boat first, another tick off the list. James on the same drift hit into larger fish which sadly wouldn’t stay hooked, he dropped back down and had yet another 2lbr plus.
Brighton Lure Boat-Lure Change

50 up for Brighton Lure Boat
I suggested to James he tries the meatal lures, he duly did and again first in with a fish, the N easterly had got up again and was pushing us out quicker, so we changed to slightly heavier metals and they seemed to bring the fish on again.
Our 12th drift across we was up to big 50 and the 51st fish landed was lovely Tub Gurnard caught on a metal, whilst the silver continued to feed we hoped of larger fish but it wasn’t to be, although we had numerous takes on every drift the smaller ones seem to dictate the area.
Brighton Lure Boat–The Wind of Change
We were beginning to think the elusive ton was a possibility, but the wind of change happened more the tide ebbed, from N Easterly to more due North, this didn’t stop the fish, averaging around 4/5 a drift, the last 3 drifts we undertook we had to readjust the approach as the wind was catching the more stern on then side on , and then the last drift produced minimal contact and 2 fish only.
t was time to turn the Brighton Lure Boat back towards the marina and get warmed up and looking back on the morning’s session it was great fun, always hoping the larger would come to the fore, but alas not on this occasion, the total 73.
New record to be aimed at the next time Brighton Lure Boat hits the high seas.
