winter deep water thornie mark worth the effort

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me

Duration:3hrs

Tide:dropping

Weather:calm and mild (for a change)

Bait:frozen mack and sandeel

Rigs:pulley, clipped down

Results: 1 dogfish, 5 thornies




Report:
Just had to get out fishing its been a month of freezing, high winds and snow so first oppertunity to get out I jumped at, I made the effort to get to a mark that sometimes produces in winter and it was sheer bliss to be stood there looking at the rod tips, after a month of no fishing I would have been happy with a blank :oops: it just felt good to be out again.
Very slow for the first hour and then things began to pick up :D :D , next 2 hours produced 5 thornies .4lb 3oz, 3lb 12oz, 5lb 12oz, 3lb 3oz,1lb 13oz. :D :D
Forgot to take a picture of the bigger one in my haste to return it and get bait back in the water :oops: No monsters but definately worth the effort at this time of year. There has to be a specimen out ther but the littlest uns keep on lifting the biggest baits :roll:
