After a couple of stops we arrived at our chosen destination full of expectation. Reports have been excellent of late and armed with top notch bait we tackled up ready for the excellent session to come........only it didn't bloody happen.
I practically jumped out of the van before it had stopped and raced to the chocolate coloured beach in front of us. 5 mins later and my first bait was in the water, two minutes later a bite! Excellent I thought as I struck into the fish. Instant result, a common smooth hound of around 2lb. In my rush I'd left the camera in the van but managed some photo's on my phone which I'll upload later. For me that was it, Barney from this forum managed 3 doggies and a codling around a pound and a half. Wally my other mate had a small pout an even smaller bass and a doggie. We fished for about 18hrs and at the time of typing this have still not been to bed yet. I've heard since that there were very few fish about yesterday....why, I have no idea. Perfect weather, tides, conditions, bait....everything was perfect but no luck today. Words cannot express how gutted I am right now...but that's fishing I suppose.
A few pics, I'll have some more when I get them off my phone.
Dinner was lovingly prepared for the fish, but I must have forgot the invites
Mark(Barney) with a doggie
And again with his codling.
The sunrise this morning was stunning.
Thanks for looking.
