    A couple of questions if i may Norman , you say you stopped off at 30-40 spots , how long do you give a "spot" before moving on? and how far do you need to move before you consider it to be another "spot"?

    Ray,
    On a day like yesterday where the wind caused a fair drift we probably gave it sometimes one or sometimes two shots at the same drift of about 4 or 5 mins or so and if no bites then move on ..... 4 or five minutes was about 50 -100 metres. If we caught then repeat the drift.
    Yesterday , although the end result was good was a hard day fishing, there wasn`t a spell where we could have said this is the spot as does happen from time to time.
    As for make a move we worked hard ground until top of the tide with random moves about 0.5 mile at a time (sometimes returning to previous quiet areas in case fish had moved).
    Then tried a few close in (up to only 2 mile) wrecks after the top of tide ....

      Well ..........................I don't really see any point in trying to follow the high quality reports already posted as I would just be repeating the pics and vids as well .

      Another great day and some great sport to boot .

      " Let's go round again " is still ringing in my ears .

      We did try a new fishing method mind you ,it's called " bump and catch " , it's very easy to do .......simply bump the bloke next to you on the elbow and he'll catch a fish .....am I right Tony ?.

      Not only am I tired today but the suntrap that is The Royal Quays has also blessed me with a " geet red barnet " and of course " golden arms ".

      A massive pat on the back to Norman as finding that many fish this early in the season is ALL down to him .



      Not long for the bigguns WOOOO HOOOOO.
      You can take the lad out of Walker but .......

              Cheers Norman , I think maybe I need to search around a bit more , I probably spend too much time in the same area when therre are no fish there . I'm enjoying learning though , next time out I'll move a bit sooner if there is nothing showing.
