I HEADED OUT TO GREYSTONES SOUTH BEACH TODAY AND STARTED OFF FISHIN THE STEPS WITH A FRIEND OF MINE. WE ARRIVED AT 8.00 A.M TO A ROUGH SEA WITH A FIERCE WIND BLOWIN BUT ALL ROUND NOT A BAD DAY. CONDITIONS WEREN PERFECT BUT IT DIDN'T STOP MY EXCTIMENT AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ID BEEN OUT THIS YEAR AND MY FIRST CHANCE TO TRY OUT MY NEW RODS AND REELS I HAD PICKED UP OVER XMAS.
SO WITH THE WIND IN MY FACE SET UP MY NEW KOMPRESSOR S AND ABU HI SPEED A PULLEY A 6oz LEAD AND LOADED IT WITH FROZEN LUG AND SANDEEL AND SENT OUT TO THE SEA, ADMITEDLY BEEING MORE INTERESTED IN MY NEW ROD WHICH HAD SENT THE LEAD SEAWARD AT A PACE THAT BLEW ME AWAY. I SET UP MY OTHER NEW ROD WITH A 2 HOOK FLAPPER AND FISHED IT CLOSER WITH LUG WORMS MY MATE HAVING THE SAME APPROACH AND WAITED. HIGH TIDE (10.00 a.m) CAME AND WENT WITH OUT SO MUCH AS A SINGLE BITE FOR EITHER US.
IT WAS HARD GOING BUT WE KEPT AT IT TIL 6.OOpm SWITCHING BAITS FROM LUG TO SANDEEL TO MACKREL TO FROZEN BLACKS WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. FINALLY ABOUT 5.30-6.00pm DARKNESS FELL AND WITH IT BROUGHT ANOTHER HIGH TIDE. THE MIN THE WATER FLOODED BACK IN THE BITES FOLLOWED INSTANLY BOTH OF US PICKING UP DOUBLE SHOTS OF WHITING EVERY CAST (some of them reasonable size... sorry no pics 4got camera
). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT ABOUT 10 WHITING AND ONE NICE PLUMP CODLING AT DISTANCE
AND GOT TO TRY OUT MY NEAR GEAR ALL BEFORE I WENT HOME , SO OVERALL NOT THE WORST WINTER SESSION IVE EVER HAD TANX ....
Well wear.
