People: me

Duration: 8.15 - 14.40

Tide: high about 10.40

Weather: very mild, little to no breeze - about 15mins mist - that was it!

Bait: frozen lug, mussel, sand eel

Rigs: 3 hook flapper, pulley

Results: zilch

Catch and Release:: i wish

Report: got down early to fish the incoming tide - was like the michellin man - was expecting it to be baltic - but quelle surprise it was mild

no wind no surf - had me worried - bait totally untouched - all day!

had one rod in close - one out as far as i could cast 70-80m

managed to break one hook - straighten another - and loose one

appart from that nothing else

lovely day to be out - but no fish - stayed lot longer in hope in the end and to use up the bait

:roll: heres to next time :?

never heard of anyfish getting caught there. never seen anyone fishing there. If the fishing was any good there Pappa Smirff would be there every evening as he lives beside it.
