Bass Rogers Woz Ere!

My first catch report on the new blog.

Many angling blogs that I visit are obsessed with telling us what rod, tackle, lures, etc that they used in their catch report, well, what a load of twaddle!!!.  So let's get this out of the way once and for all on this blog, this is my first and only attempt at bull****.

Cambois beach report

It was off to my favourite local bass beach, namely Cambois in Northumberland.  My rod was 13ft, black with nine eyes, made by fuji and a canny caster to!!  Reel was also black with some numbers on it that made it look like I was a pro.  Tackle, two hook flapper with sharp black hooks and a bend in them...about 1/0 size, I think?

So all suitably blacked up and sponsored by no one it was time to drown a few of my woodworm for bait.

My local tackle shop puts it's worms in sawdust, woodsy's woodworm I call them and they are a fantastic bait, and especially great if your after woodpeckers.

First thing you must always do as a sea angler when arriving at your venue is to check out the surf conditions, today it looked pretty wet with a slightly frothy top to it so I made certain to put on my wellies.  After three hail Mary's and my lucky lead weight carefully positioned in my tackle box (box is by Shakespeare!) and  I expect payment for advertising such from this company within thirty days of this post!  Now it was time for a chuck.

  

So I smacked one three miles out just between the windmills in the picture with my black rod, fuji eyes and reel with some fancy looking numbers on it that made me look like a pro.  Not a bit of interest for two hours so I lobbed one out just behind the breakers in the picture and within moments it was bass rogers one, windmills nil.

Info

I like to fish Cambois beach on small tides so I don't have to move about too much, plus there is plenty of water in the gullies and holes that normally are exposed on big tides.  Fish an hour or two down to low tide and three hours back in and you should score a spikey fella too. A light surf of around two foot in height at any time of the year is ideal.  Daylight is often just as good as darkness here for bass, flounder and the odd turbot. Look for calmer areas away from the larger waves that roll in and cast just behind the start of the surf line. Try at night if you want cod.

So yeah, get in I'd found a fish.  Then more and more too!

Woodsy's wood worm was certainly doing the job today

I fished on until darkness pulling out more school bass until I only had a pile of sawdust about three feet high left on the beach.

Cambois beach pronounced Kamiss,  is in Northumberland,  found just to the north of Blyth.  The beach is quite shallow and is great for that first elusive Northumbrian bass that many crave, along with flatfish and the odd cod too.  All my fish are returned so I suggest you do the same for the future of our sport.

Bass Rogers woz ere!

Look out for my next post coming soon!
