Myself and Stevebbh had a few (literally) between us at Hillhead cliffs around the Christmas period.
I'll probably try there on Sunday.

Good luck with that Richard, i`ll be out bassing maybe Monday....i have a feeling they wont be disappearing this year!!!

[RichardB]

Yes, I think you could be right Dave. I expect I'll have my usual speculative bass rig out as well .

Good show, thats the beauty of 2 rods. I always have another rod out with smaller hooks/bait while vainly bass fishing, but out at a longer range so`s not to disturb the close bait to much. But if i`m BASS FISHING, i`ll lob out both for bass, as i do when sole fishing. Its great fun targeting more than one fish i think. Fishing 1 or 2 rods for bass when they are a bit scarce, can to me, be a bit boring.
`Variety is the spice`.. and all that!

Definetly scarce Pompey way, 1 or 2 will usually come up during a normal session but no more when your actually targetting them at marks that used to guarantee bigger bags.
