Blackhead lighthouse 12/11/06

#1 Post by round_ourway »

People:Myself & Liam

Duration: 6 Hours

Tide: Flood

Weather: Calm and then Northerly Wind

Bait: Rag, Trout, Sprats, gulp rag

Rigs: Simple one hook floats

Results: Coalfish, Pollock, wrasse

Catch and Release:: Yes ( all released )



Report:

Arrived when tide was at ebb and fished until flood. Great days fishing with the float going crazy for an hour with with nice size Pollock and Coalie taken by both of us.

I landed two 2lb wrasse which give me a nice play. Again stories of woe losing the biggest fish at the very start. Looked like a good size Pollock.

Liam caught a two lovely Pollock which gave him a great fight for around 5-10 Min's.

Probably the best I have done at this mark in a long time. :) :)

Every fish had an audience with the passes by :shock: :shock:

And for those mackerel hunters out there, The fella beside us caught a nice one spinning. :D :shock:

Are you using the feature for inserting attachments? It doesnt like .bmp files by the way so if thats the case "save as" and edit it to save as a .jpg. If its your picture size thats a problem, resize it in paint or similar.

if you have all your pic's on your PC try http://photobucket.com you up load your pic's on to it and then you will get 3 codes you hit the bottom one IMG OK and paste it on to the page that's how i do it but you have to set up an account it costs nothing and it will change the images automatically you can also make the photos smaller so you can use them for your avatar but you will have to use the URL code for that one hope this helps :)

Do Wrasse stick around over the winter or do they move to deeper water?
