I spent a few hours down at Torness Power Station outflow yesterday pestering the resident bass again. After catching a few at distance on a slowly retrieved metal and a jighead mounted paddletail I switched to jigging micro metals at close range. It was great fun and I even saw some of the takes as the fish came from the bottom to grab the lure which is always exciting.

| I fished a few diffirent micro jigs and the bass were loving them. This one is a cheap and cheerful Hart X-Mebaru jig with one of my own assist hooks attached to the top using a micro clip. Almost all the fish were nicely lip hooked. Great for catch and release. |
I like fishing with metals and it's really something I should do more often. With doing so in mind I think I'm going to be stocking up on more jigs
in the 3-5g range. I might get the vice out and tie up some more micro assist hooks to use with
them as well.
Tight lines, Scott.
