Pre Christmas fishing trip

Went to a spot near Rockingham yesterday evening,

I arrived just after the rain cleared and

managed a dry chilly session.

I met up with Brad from Bristol Angling Centre

and started fishing at 4pm.

High tide was at 6pm and we fished till 7.30pm.

Lug Rag and Squid were the baits used.

I had a Rockling at high tide at the same time as

Brad managed a nice Codling. No bites were

had on the flood tide.

No further bites were had on the ebb untill

the last cast was wound in.

This was lucky for me, as I had a Flounder and a 

Rockling on a Wishbone rig.

Another very good trip. 

Rusty beats his Dad AGAIN. 09-12-11

Popped down to the grass bank again

to use up the left over bait from the last trip.

My family had bought me a new rod to replace the one I 

broke.

 With Moon rise over Sea Bank power station.

 Usual rigs produced 3 Codling for and

2 Flounder for Rusty.

The top Codling weighed 2lb 10oz.

I managed to catch a small Codling and

a 2lber  christened my new rod.

Good fishing trip and good company.

Birthday treat to myself

Low tide down the slipway.

Low was at 11.00, so arrived at 07.00.

Lug, Rag and Squid were the baits used.

Clear blue sky, cool and VERY blustery.

Pulley rigs were the order of the day 

with 3/0 and 4/0 hooks.

First fish of the day was a Whiting 

about the same size as the smaller one in the photo,

at around 8.40.

Weed then started to cause trouble

with large clumps pulling the weights around.

At low tide these two Whiting were landed on consecutive 

casts. Taking Lug / Rag cocktails.

Then as the tide picked up again 

the weed was once again a problem.

I started packing up around 12.45

Three more 4 inch Whiting were caught on

the last three casts of the session.

Not a bad day out.

Roll on Friday evening

for the next trip.
