A DAY OF BASSIN'
Curing the itch - that's what a day on the water chasing willing Peacocks can do for some fanatical lure anglers. So while the saltwater trips take a back stage, it was on a quiet weekend we saw ourselves lugging the cartopper North and spending a few productive hours fooling some Bass.
SALTWATER GETS IN YOUR EYES
Some time ago we played host to a few visiting anglers who were keen to sample a little of what the local waters could offer. We wasted little time in getting to where the action was and were glad the fish were cooperative. So here are some pics of 3 Frenchmen and an Aussie braving the salt spray and getting their hands dirty!
Macks were in the house, and we were glad!
