People:Me

Duration:2145 - 0030

Weather:dry, then downpour!

Bait:mack, cooked prawn

Rigs:3 hook flappers

Results:1 pout, 1 shore rockling




Report:

Not a lot to report really, apart from both fish took prawns. Fishing was really slow. I'm putting it down to the state of the tide, and not to my lack of angling skills :oops:

One local I chatted to down there last year had the theory that the fishing was so good because the dredgers working out near the islands had driven the fish away from their normal haunts!

I have to say it has been poor here during the day. Dan & Drew did okay though in the evening according to a post I read.

Ive fished the dee for 30 odd years and for the next few months is prime time.
If you fish this venue for a while you will soon learn when to be there. At this time of year and over the winter darkness is best unless you want to target wrasse. Wind and tide do make a difference to species caught but dusk onwards is best and you will catch.
