People: Just me
Duration: 15.30 - 20.30
Tide: flood
Weather:fine, calm
Bait:rag
Rigs: float
Results: 10 pollock, 5 wrasse, 2 blennies
Report:After catching a big wrasse here earlier in the week, thought I'd give it another go.
Arrived to find where I had fished last time occupied by 2 others, so fished out by the old bathing pool.
A few timid bites in the first hour or so, but no fish. Saw a few mullet swimming in close to shore, so changed tactics for an hour, shortened the length on the float to just a foot or so drop - it was not to be though.
I had seen a small mullet in the old bathing pool diving for cover as I walked past, so thought what the heck, and put on a size 6 hook and freelined with a bit of rag. Left it in for 15 minutes and reeled in to catch a small blenny. Tried again, same result, another small blenny,,,,that was enough of that :roll:
The area had become busy with swimmers, so I moved further round the cliffs to find the 2 guys I have seen earlier packing up, so I resumed my place from earlier in the week.
The tide was now on the way in, and at last giviing a bit of depth out in front of me.
The fishing was then steady, but not exciting, a quite 1/2 hour or so, then a flurry of bites, with the odd fish, a quite 1/2 hour or so, then a flurry of bites etc etc.
I did miss one reasonable fish, which had snagged before I got a good strike in, and lost 2 smallish pollock that spat the hook a metre or so from the shore.
No fish bigger than 3/4lb :(
I've posted enough pic's of wrasse and pollock lately so havent bothered this time
