People: Myself, Drew

Duration: 3:30pm - 7:00pm (on and off, mostly off)

Tide: High @ 4:30pm

Weather: Hmm.. Torrential Downpours / Thunder / Lightening

Bait: Frozen Mack / Sandeel

Rigs: Basics

Results: 1 Pouting, 1 Pollack

Report:

A slightly impromtu session today, Drew decided to come around to my house to help me choose some new tackle in the shop later. As i had some frozen fillets at home we decided to try some 'mini species bashing' using very light spinning rods, Drew used an old 6 foot solid fibre glass spinning rod that used to slaughter fish for me as a kid, i was using an 8ft Shakespear 'Mentor' spinning rod. I, somehow, caught the only two fish of the day, a small Pout and a small Pollack caught on the inside bend of the pier (both on Sandeel), old school style, right off the edge :oops: :lol: The Weather was absolutely terrible and made us leave the pier for an hour so we got something to eat before i coaxed him back, that maybe lasted another hour before enough was enough...

If you two space cadets were out fishing in that rain this afternoon - you are defo unstable :lol: :lol:

I even got wet by looking out of the office window today :shock: :shock: :shock:

I thought that fishing is meant to be good after a storm - not during.....

Do you have a pretender to the crown of North Down Drew?

Or is he your Jedi apprentice?

Beware the sand-people....

Hmm, forgot a potentially unfunny moment today, during one of the downpours that made us uproot and leave the pier asap, only during our shelter several hundred yards away did Drew remember that i had left my new bag of £35 worth of tackle sitting were we were fishing, thankfully, there was a huge crane and fencing blocking access to the majority of the pier so basically, we were the only ones on it today. After the torrential rain had eased i was able to go and retrieve, woohoo! Why i decided that a bag of mackeral fillets was my main priority when leaving originally, i'll never know... :? :shock:
