Has anybody that fishes the seaham area ever caught a bass of any size?
I've heard reports but have never actually seen one on the local beaches. |

Hi Mr Rix,
No not 7lb,it was 2lb i did`nt have a camera with me but the guy who helped me pull the doggie up the pier wall by my shock leader took a photo with his camera phone.i have since found out that the guy either works in a tackle shop in sunderland or his mate owns the tackle shop and they supposedly have the picture displayed in the shop window.still havent heard for sure if it was a beach record or not but either way i really dont have any photographic proof of my own |

Sorry i havent been on line for a while,problems with internet,
THORN, It was definately a spotted doggie,not a smoothy or a bull huss.
It would be nice to have the british record,but i did not get a photo although i have been told a lad took one with his camera phone and displayed it in a tackle shop,and i have heard from a few who fish in roker that they have seen the photo.Incidentelly the shore record is 4lb 3oz and the boat record is 6lb. |
