Gnasher Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I had a last minute trip to beaulie river in search of something for tonight's bbq. Started with worm, but had more schoolies than I can handle, so a switch to squid as dark fell resulted in something powerful doing me after one long run. 10 mins later, the sane rod is away and a bass about 4lb comes off at the net. Slightly gutted, and thinking of paddling back, the right hand rod tears off and a pb 8lb bass is landed. On gutting the fish, I opened the sack to see what looked like chicken bones! I guess it's been preying on something other than fish! Anyone else found large bones in a basses stomach?

Newboy Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Don't look like chicken to me, the curvature is wrong, could be a sea bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I know a couple of people that have caught their best bass on chicken in Navy dockyards [hard to get bait on warships] so I expect that left overs thrown into the river is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 We had a couple of turbot which were full of chicken bones last time we were out in Alderney so with the shortage of Mackerel is drumstick the new wonder bait?
