who took all the fish

#1 Post by last cast lad »

People:me

Duration:4.00-8.00pm

Tide:high at 7.00

Weather:overcast, warm, flat water in the bay, rising tide.....pretty good I thought

Bait:rag ,mackeral

Rigs:pulley, flapper, float, lures

Results:2 strap conger, 1 small flounder, 3 wrasse




Report:got set up on the rocks for what should have been a decent session at a mark that always produces the goods. Got bait out and derek arrived with a spinning rod, also full of optimisum and an hour later he had 1 small pollack to show for his efforts :cry: while my bait kept coming back untouched, not even crabs(apart from one ugly creepy spider crab at the end of the session). As soon as the mackeral thawed I dropped the conger rig down the side of the rocks and two drops produced two strap conger, small 3 and 4lb but at least I had saved my blank, now I could relax and settle back into not catching fish again :? The guy on the next rock over decided to pack up after 3hrs and one doggie so I decided to give up too, only to pull in a small piddley flounder on a 3.0 hook :shock: So it was obviouse that the fish had now suddenly arrived and were feeding :idea: so out went more bait. I even decided to try my last few rag on the float and had the most action all evening as lots of little plucky 3" wrasse kept attacking the rag, eventually I landed a few more respectable, the best at 1lb 12 oz and 35cm :) At last I had run out of bait, now I could go home :D. This mark normally fishes pretty good, conditions seemed good, but I spent most of the evening being frustrated rather than relaxed :( , dogs can sense fear, mabey the fish can sense me being anxious :?
