Like to thank Dave for another good trip,bad start with fog and a few electrical problems found a bit of rust close and picked up 20+ scads then down to the ledge on the second drift Dave Jacob then me picked up three Bass all under 3 pound grandad now blanking and decided to throw his toys out of the pram and spent the best part of the day sabotaging the bait which didn't work as Dave and Jacob picked up another Bass each.
Nice to see such a enthusiastic young lad with quite a bit of knowledge,well done Jacob.
Sod's law showed them all the tricks and rigs, that alan the bass taught me on my successful trips out with him. Thanks Alan
And s""t happens I blanked.
It's good Jacobs picking up a few tips hopefully he can help me soon.

O by the way are scad any good for whiting baits, if any one could help
Oh yeah not only were you chucking them around the boat and over the side but you were putting them in the coal box as well, whiting Bait is it
Not sure about whiting bait, but they make great conger baits so they must have a bit of scent.
Nice to see you back on here Craig
Must of been a fun trip with all you west country boys onboard.
Charlie
We had one hell of a job understanding Dave's jargon

Great reports and well done all who took part.
A special well done to Neal too.
A pity to have missed the day.
(I had no chance of wetting a line while holidaying in Italy)
Well done to all who took part
I couldn't get out over the weekend, but did get out on the Friday before. Found 7 or 8 small bass where there should have been some bigger ones, but not a sniff from the big girls (best was only 45cm). Fished the same place yesterday, only one small schoolie, but I lost a very good fish when it shook it's head and my heavy jig head with a barbless hook fell out! Plenty of Pollack though
Does the club keep a record of each years bass comp results? As some of you may know, I head up the restoration effort for BASS and that kind of data can be really useful. I get the feeling that the decline in bass stocks is starting to show through.
Cheers

All fish recorded in our main book are accessible online http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/ipb/topic/5768-view-reports-here/ Only fish that members have bothered to report will be in here but can give a good indication of what's about and when. The only thing with using data like this is it doesn't take account that the club is much larger now than back in 92 also we have some superb anglers in the club now, not that we didn't back in the beginning but we do have a lot more good anglers now

Hi Martin
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and for the important background about the club to bear in mind when looking through those records. Without that a very quick look that I have just done would suggest that there are lots more, lots bigger fish out there now than years ago!
