waterfoot beach 14/11/09

#1 Post by minty »

People:gadsac club comp

Duration:6-11

Tide:rising

Weather:windy to start then perfect

Bait:rag and mack

Rigs:baited spoon pulley and 3 hook clipped

Results:coalies flounder whitting doggs and codling




Report:
Started the comp 10 mins late due to not preparing the 3 reels, 1 had birds nest and no leader 1 had brittle line and no leader and the other had the braid dug in so it only cast about 15 yards...... :oops: :oops: :evil: .got one of the reels up and running and within 45 mins had landed 2 doggies :D :D , things were looking good. was surprised at how close in they were taking the baits. things slowed down a bit with only the odd under-sized flounder and whitting being landed. then the rod nearly came out of the tripod, thought it was maybe a double of doggs but landed a nice codling of about 36 cms (my p.b ), decent wee scrap it put up. coalies and doggs were the main catch after this. :D :D and i got my first 5 bearded rockling ever. :D :D . all in i landed 9 counters and about the same again in under-sized fish so i was pretty pleased as i had no counters in the last comp :oops: :oops:
some times catching crabs is a good thing.........or is it...........?

Nice going Minty. Good result- sounds like a belter of a codling by my books (given my p.b. is around 10cm..... :roll: )

well done minty. It was a great comp. One of the best fishing beach comps ever. Its the first time I had counting whiting. I ended up with 24 counting fish and probably the same in non counters. I didnt have one flounder all session.
