People:myself, fishface. A.N. Onymous
Duration:7-11pm
Tide:rising
Weather:windy , few showers
Bait:rag,lug,mack and squid
Rigs:1 hook clipped down
Results:me, 1 starry smoothound 8) , fishface 6 doggies, 1 starry smoothound, A.N. Onymous blank :cry: .
Report:As it was very windy out, we opted to go to a mark where we knew it was sheltered by a cliff. When i got out of the car my hat blew off my head and i was blown across the road but it was like another world down on the beach :lol: . No wind, and the sea was fairly flat with a surf running in. I set up 2 rods but had to put one away due to the amount of weed. When the lads arrived it was Neil who started the ball rolling with a doggie on his first cast :shock: . Proving that distance pays off he proceeded to catch consistently throughout the session, 6 dogs and 1 starry smoothound. Myself and John Bunn,,,,,,sorry i mean Mr A. N. Onymous :oops: , could only listen to the inevitable slagging :oops: :oops: . "Have you guys caught anything yet?"No,,, we replied but then about an hour into the session I had a rattle and reeled in a starry smoothound, my first, about the size of a small doggie, but i didnt care 8) . He went for rag tipped with mackeral. There were to be no more bites for me and John after this, just watching Neil reel them in from distance :roll: .All in all the fishing was very poor but I was happy enough with the smoothound though,, after watching others catch them many times in the past :lol: . Another one off the list :wink:
