East Coast - 17/08/10

#1 Post by Aurelien »

People:Me, my brother and my mum ...

Duration:8pm to 6am

Tide: every stage

Weather:wet

Bait:peeler, mack, sandeel, razor, rag and lug

Rigs:various

Results:1 nice little ray and 1 bull huss


Report:

After a tope expedition that has been proven succesfull (not in size but in number), decided to continue chasing my next target:ray ...

Despite a wet and windy weather, hit the mark set up, and to my surprise, was in a ray on my second cast 8) ... A nice little thornie ...Not a monster but a ray after all ...

After this good start, everything went quiet and the doggies start feeding in force and we quickly got 47 of them ... Just before packing up, got a good bite and landed a nice surprise ... An 8lbs bull huss ...

I need to say that depsite the size of the huss, I m more happy with the ray (and I think it's not a baby, she is only a dwarf ray, so for me she counts like a bigger one),as I have put a lot of hours trying catching one not too far from home in the past few weeks ... Hope to get her mama next time ...

Well I have caught some nice fish in the middle of doggie feeding frenzie, that's why I'm always staying despite being quickly bored, and this huss was really worth the hassle...

@ roger: Yes my mum is fishing ... She has been employed at minding the dog, taking photos, preparing lunch :mrgreen: . But now she is well hooked. She helped building the score with 8 doggies. Lot of fun, but she missed her local smoothies (She got a nearly 7 lbs hound this year) ...

This week end it has been something like 10 hours saturday after Tope with Peterk19 and Jayball10 and 10 hours monday with the family after ray :mrgreen: ... Even if we didn't get any good sized tope, nobody blank, we got the species that we were after and we even get a bonus bass (dwarf as well :shock: ) ... For the ray, the same it was the target and we got it ...The huss was a very nice surprise ... and as you say some species no matter the size can make a session memorable ... Next will be to find bigger fish and try to avoid doggies ... :?
