A welcome but all too rare summer of 2013 fish.
It
all started with the big chill, weeks of Easterly winds that blew and blew and
with them came the low temps that had the knock on effect of keeping our Sea temps
low and our catch rates even lower.
And
so we waited and waited...Eventually it came, the second phase, a glorious summer and those first nice gentle onshore
breezes that warmed the air, stirred the sea and raised our hopes but ultimately delivered very
little by way of fish landed for most. It
got so bad that at times it felt that
our Bass Fishing no longer felt like a worthwhile “Full time” hobby for the Day
Game and a glimpse of a future none of us want to even contemplate, so a lot of
time was spent prowling the coast after dark in the hope of improving our
chances...This
worked to degree but it was still tough going.
Fast forward to the Autumn and the
third phase, it stayed warm until quite recently and thank God the fish started
to show when the conditions were right, all's well that ends well...
So what
will 2014 bring us, nobody knows but I'm looking forward to finding
out... Thanks for Reading.
