I really enjoy a bit of lure fishing in the sea, but I had no need to be standing on the rocks in a gale this February.
We scouted out a likely mark, got the calendar out, checked the tide tables, the weather and this weekend there was an afternoon low tide down the south west, with a storm coming in later in the evening, which meant the top of the tide would be just as the sun dropped and hopefully a nice calm evening.
Couldn't be any better for chucking lures for bass.
Setting off we were running late. I'd forgotten my lunch and some new lure I'd picked up so we kicked about the option to just give in and fish local, but it was too good to miss.
We stuck to the plan and headed off... into a massive queue on the A78.
