First bean of the year, and some others...

Post by Zhao »

Last week I got the first bean of the year, using SC. Most SCs are very small at this time of the year, but I was lucky enough to find a bed of large SCs. Was going for perch that day but got a beanie. Kinda small but a first is a first.

The next few days I got some luck with basses, including a double. Some pics on larger ones. Also caught some smaller basses (mostly sand basses).

No sheep this week. Wonder where they are... did get some other fish like kelp fish and black perch. Then I got this double. Was always a huge hassle to unhook the eel as it would just twist and twist, tangling everything - anyone got some tips here?

Very nice sessions, thanks for sharing. Did you keep the eel or let him go?

Thanks! It was indeed fun. This eel is chunky and I gave it to a friend.
