Seabass fishing day
My partner for this fishing day was Mr.E; one of the best sea bass angler I know of. We arrived to our secret hotspot at 06:30 and prepared for a long fishing day. The sea conditions were perfect; 1-2 feet waves turbines the breakpoint with low southern breeze, and the whether forecast showed it will last until noon.
Secret hotspot
This long beach strip isn’t really a hotspot- many anglers knows the place, but not so many willing to walk 5 miles only for fishing. We both know exactly where to look for the seabass, the only problem was that it’s off season.
The spawned occurred three month age, so only few items would be out there.
2 miles and one hour later
Mr.E decide that there is no point in continue further because we didn’t notice any fish sign- prey or predator, so he stay to focused on specific spot.
I continued the search for another mile distance to certain point where there’s four small trenches and hills combination one after the other.
About trenches and underwater hills
Lurking seabass in sandy beaches can be found at the wave’s break point zone, but if there’s a deeper water trench near–it’s the best.In sandy beaches, the waves brakes most of the time in shallow water, so water pushed to the shore in high speed.The water that pushed to the shore press to balanced back in the fastest short way and by thus form the trenches. The “‘hill” water depth can be varied from one foot to 10 foot- it’s the principle that count…
‘Bad eye’ predator
The first ‘hill and trench’ was two shallow but the second trench water where about four foot depth with strong back current. I used the Bombette and Raglou like soft rubber lure and the third cast produced a short attack.

After five minutes the second attack came – but the fish keep missing the lure 
Only after ten minutes and several ‘heart attacks’ the bad eye seabass succeed to my delight…-the long walking to the spot and off season element sure made me to appreciate this one.
