People: Myself & I
Bait: Inismara lidl mackerel
Weather: Moderate Southerly's and decreasing
Tide: HW@19:00pm
Poped down to a local mark of mine near my home. Brought a packet of lidl mackerel with me and away i went. Fished from 6pm untill about 8:30pm.Had to fish from the grass due to the extremely large tides.
This mark is more of a summer spot and on into the harvest for better fishing. At its best it throws up a good array of species.However i wanted to see if any the larger Dabs had arrived onto the ground as thats all i predicted with my bait quality
First cast seen me take a small dab and flounder. From there on in it was all small quality dabs. Uped the bait sizes to see if i could pick the larger fellas out but to of no avail. Managed 1 at around 28/30 mark but that was really it
Still thou managed to pluck about 25 fish in about 2.5 hours or under so it wasnt by all means not fun
Wind died down at around 8:15pm and the midjees turned up so it was time for home
Just to clear up any curiosity. I live within a stone throw of the sea and am blessed to have fishing spots within the restriction areas...i fish alone and dont interfer with anyone else. So this weekend will be our biggest challenge...we can all do it and once we get through this , the fish will not know what his hit them when we come out in force
Cheers
Brian

Great little session Brian, I think there's a lot of people craving something similar. I find myself looking at the fish in my aquarium in a slightly different way these days.......
