Rockingham 11-12-12

A few spare hours and the right tide for 

a sea fishing trip, 

only one thing to do!

Pop down to Rockingham

Got down there in misty icy conditions.

I could not see 

Avonmouth or Severn Beach.

I set upa

Wishbone rig and a 

Pennell Pulley Rig.

Baited with Rag and Lug.

Started fishing at 15.15,

I had my first bite at

14.30.

This little Flounder

managed to pull the weight

out of the mud.

Taking lug on the wishbone rig.

A 17.10, 10 minutes before high

a gentle pull on the rod tip

then a series of rattles

produced this flounder.

Again on the wishbone rig

but took rag worm.

The fog / mist was 

settling  on the rod and line.

Then freezing and made for very cold hands at times.

But a very good trip again.

Two hours on the Frome 07-12-12

Spent a couple of hours down

Snuffers way yesterday afternoon.

Same roving kit and bait used.

 Usual swims fished.

 The result was a 

BIG FAT BLANK.

I think the over night rain

had upset the fish.

The colour was not nice.

There was also a lot of

rubbish passing at times

which made presentation

hard.

Oh well there always next time.

River Frome after the Flood. 04-12-12

Well what can I say.

The river had lost most of its pace

and the colour was dropping out.

I fished the same swims

as last time.

Using 2 different style and

size of Crow Quill Avon floats. 

Maggot and caster were the baits

I used again.

Well the result was 

very different.

1 small Roach

4 Minnows.

Were the fish still

getting over the torrent,

or

had the cooler weather

affected the fishing.

Roll on thursday.
