HI guys went out with the intention of catching a cod or anything else swimming around on the the bottom off culver, annoyingly there wernt any pots out far off culver so i had to settle for one close in, not a lot happened apart from a little bite and then strike only to find it bit my hook off, no prises for guessing what that was. gave it a hour or so then packed up, the wind got up slightly and put a bit of chop on the water so i decided to go after Bass instead with the rapala, caught 10 altogether 6 off culver right under the cliff literally 30m from the base and 4 round by the red wing boys, as well as 2 small pollock,1garfish, and one mackerel that i put on as live bait for a time with no luck. 4 of the Bass were keepers 1x5lb 2x2lb and one just in size which i wouldnt normally keep but it was the first one i caught and wanted to make sure i had one for my mum to eat. had a hours break sat outside the cafe at white cliff with a cup of coffee,it was very pleasant down there today. also had a garfish jump out of the water 1m from the kayak which scared the hell out of me lol, so all in all had a good day, the 5lb Bass put up a dam good fight, and it was a very dark Bass on top when i first saw it from under the surface i thought it was a pollock or wrasse, thankfully it was neither and was a bass.
