Mark gets a double

Had a great weekend with Graham Hill and Mark Padfield down in Weymouth, what a place, I have never had such variety of species on lures obviously Bass but also Sea Trout, mackies, Gar and Graham and I both landed squid.

But the day was made when mark hooked into the bass above, weighing in at 10lb 3oz she went on two strong runs before Mark was able to bring her to the shore where I nervously landed her, a few quick photos and Mark revived her in the surf before releasing her.

Tackle House Feed Shallow

The Tackle House Feed Shallow is just one of those lures you should have in your box. Designed to run shallow, just under the surface this is one of the few lures that delivers on that promise, even with a fast retrieve it won’t go any deeper than 18 inches. But what really makes it different is the extreme action, which is so often lost on shallow lures, a very distinctive roll from side to side with a ziz-zag swim, all from a simple retrieve.

Model: Feed Shallow    Manufacturer: Tackle House
Length: 128mm    Weight: 18.5g (FS+ 21g)    Dives: 1ft   Hooks: Change them

Well what a weekend, thanks obviously go to Mike from Reels and Deals, Weymouth for organising a great comp and organising some great prizes.

I was lucky to be partnered with my good friend Graham Hill who, if your into your lure fishing you would have heard of, and it was great to meet Tom and Mark Padfield who we stuck together with most of the weekend. Mark did an excellent job of showing us the area and exhibiting some great knowledge. Although no absolute monsters where caught this weekend you only need to look at Mark’s mobile phone picture gallery to see what great fish this area can produce.
