So, so, so, so wrong

Four Wrongs ended up making a very big Right last Sunday. We were out drifting for bass with sandeels in the Overfalls area, and the first two Wrongs were that we were not using the prescribed bass tackle of braid and multiplier, our local bass guru had proved to me last year than mono and multipliers out-fished braid. So we were fishing mono with multipliers, and catching a few bass too. We decided on a move as the fish were small and not too numerous either. Unfortunately, as we lined up for the new mark the tide died away to nothing and with no wind and no drift we were sitting way off any semblance of fish-holding banks or features. So two more Wrongs: no tide and no mark! We dropped down anyway, and the leads had hardly touched bottom and we were both into fish - good ones. Well, these bass had not read the rule book because they hit the eels like crazy for a manic 15 minutes - until the tide started running. Then the fishing returned to normal - small to medium bass off the banks in a two knot tide. This chance encounter with bigger bass puzzled us until I was cleaning the keepers, and found them stuffed with enormous Launce. Presumably they had ambushed a shoal in the open - I guess it was pure luck that we happened to be over them at that point! If fishing was predictable it would be boring.
