Walkway tonight.

Headed down the walkway about 4pm. Two rods, baits were fresh blacks, blow lug and mackerel. Whole place was empty... Not a good sign I thought lol. :eek: anyway, tide was about slack water and chucked out the first bait. Set up my second rod and the first one was going bananas. 40cm codling first chuck. Not a bad start. Managed another out about 35cm a few casts later then a whiting the same size. It then went dead.... Totally dead lol. Had a couple of smaller tommys out a bit later before Andyco turned up. I was sat winging on about not having seen a flattie caught at the walkway in months and specifically dabs as there are usually loads of them... Anyway, wound in to rebait and found a nice little dab sat on the hook! Talk about making me look like a fool! Haha. Few other small bits but nothing to write home about. All in all not too bad, started promisingly but died a death once the tide started to flood. Whiting kept for tea and all other fish returned.

Ha, that dab was just having a laugh. Just the one little tommy for me. I tried having a little chat with myself about bass when I went down the beach, but it didn't work :(

OMG, The fishing in the Clyde and all the sea lochs was unbelievable in those days for what we called flat water fishing.

It was, unfortunately this happened : The Tories. The 3 mile limit abolished. The Trawlers. It will never be the same again!
