It was 11 years ago, had 5 salmon on fly, lost 1 at my feet and had 2 come off after a couple of minutes. The 5 i got out were all hen fish so i released them all to spawn. dont think i will have a day like that again.

It depends what you class as the best day, numbers of fish or just the most enjoyment? I fished for bass professionally for 15 years and had some big days. But, that was all £.s d. nothing to do with pleasure.

 

Some of my most memorable days have been catching a few trout from upland streams nothing worth keeping and all returned, memories that I will remember for the rest of my days. Like the day as a 12 year old I caught a 11" brownie who was as black as the ace of spades from the peat stained waters of a stream that you could jump across. Those are the days that stick out in my mind.

_{Fishing off the mud ledges in the bristol channel one winters night in the worse rain and wind ever. I was close to packing up and thought I'd have one last cast. Loaded the last of the bait up and cast out about 20yards out in the wind}

 

_{Then back and sat in the car gave it 20mins and thought f**k it this is not normal. Tried to wind the rod in and it was suck. After 10mins and pulling and struggling with I though was a biggest lump of seaweed in the bristol channel turned out to be a 15lb cod}

My best trip was to a place called Inch i only just started sea fishing and was trying to bag a bass. Was fishing every tide for 2weeks and tryig all spots for the ever elussive Mr Bass. Got there at 3am for the incoming tide and its a small surf beach. Had my waders on and had my spinning rod and cast out with a Rapala lure into the surf .......3rd cast bang .....i thought it was a snag. Npe in came my first bass a nice healthy 8lb6oz. Was over the moon, only got a small flounder after that but 2 weeks hunting a bass thats my best days fishing. Not big and small numbers but very memorable.
