15.03.10 more thornies

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me and mick

Duration:6.30-10.30

Tide:2hours either side of high

Weather:flat calm

Bait:mackeral, squid, sandeel

Rigs:flapper, pulley

Results:me 1 dogfish, mick 2 thornies




Report: Decided to fish the same mark where we got our last thornies, mick had a theory that it was a daytime low water mark, so in order to prove any theory you must do the opposite to verify results. Got set up and sat watching motionless rods for about 2hrs before I managed a doggie, micks theory could be right :idea: Then with the blank saved we really began to concentrate on thornie fishing, by that I mean we had a cup of coffee :roll: Then after both of us each missing thornie bites :oops: mick managed to connect with one :D and landed a small one of about 3 lb. Then again back to the vast abyss of nothingness so we decided to pack up and just as mick was walking to his rod it gave that familure lurch forward and another thornie was landed again just over 3lb :D :D
So all in all a justifiable session. Some of you have wondered where this mark is along the swilly, we have done a loty of exploration trying to find this hole we had heard of from a local skipper. This morning mick rang me to say that the gaurds had landed with his wife last night after having reports of lights in a very remote area, on investigation they found his van in the area but even they didnt try navigating the terrain :!:
The fish are there just waiting to be caught
