NOVEMBER 2011 - WRECKING TRIP - the first three wrecks of the day produced a few pollack during the easing tide and over the slack water period.Then a move to a big wreck as the tide was running produced a hectic two and half hour spell were the action was fast and furious with bass and pollack.The anglers were using 15Ib class tackle with flying collar or Portland Rigs and a variety of lures.On the day a salmon coloured shad was very successful but to be fair when the fish were in their feeding frenzy all manner of lures were used and proved irresistable to the bass and pollack.Pictured is John Bickford from Bristol with his 7Ib 8oz Bass.
