We fished 3 hrs up to HW at midnight, with the only action being some strange rattling indications on whole squid or whole Herring.
The baits were coming back definitely chewed, but all other baits came back untouched, very strange.
Aside from that we were fishless right up until HW when Leigh managed a couple of small Whiting and a trio of Rockling - One of which took a Pennelled Crab bait!
I also had 2 tiny Whiting to save me from the blank up to that point, but all in all it was very quiet, and no sign of all the Doggies that we'd heard reports of lately.
Around 2hrs into the ebb, and feeling a little bit put out by it all we started talking about how you can do everything right in this game and still end up scratching your head.
Sure enough just as were talking about the complete lack of action, a decent bite on a huge freshout at range and i'm into a fish!
Right from the off this felt like something a little more special, and as it was nice and calm I saw and heard it splash on the surface a couple of times during the fight.
Trying to time it with the waves I eventually beached my PB Bass!
Not a monster by some guys' standards, but at over 2lbs easily my biggest Shore fish to date.
We fished on until 4am but no further action came our way.
Just goes to show though, one bite is all it takes to make you a happy bunny!
