Porpoises off Rockingham 13-04-13

I popped down to the grass bank

again to use up

the left over bait.

Usual tactics were used.

Result 2 more flounder.

Whilst there I noticed

some Porpoises

feeding off the bank.

Some were with in 10 feet of the bank.

Sorry for the poor quality

of the video.

The camera could not focus on the sea.

Back to the grass bank for

a 13.2mtr tide.

High water was at

09.18,

so fished 07.30 till 10.30.

As can be seen the tide

came well over the bank.

I used a line from

my main rods to

the specimen rod,

I must go past this line to ensure

I don't end up swimming.

 Usual rigs and bait were used.

This time I managed

4 flounder.

I guess the southerly wind

woke the fish up.

With enough bait left over for a short session,

I popped down to the local grass bank.

Light southeaster

and calm sea

greeted me.

Again usual rigs

and baits

produced

a keeper flounder

on the first cast.

I also had a fair few

nibbles and rattles

through out the session.

I fished from 16.15

till 19.30

high water was at 18.15.

Or should I say

Mud, Mud, horrible Mud.

I fished from 06.30

low water was 10.00

and fished till 12.00.

As can be seen the mud

was bad.

At low water I could not get 

nearer than about 30mtrs

from the water at low tide.

The wind was a gusty cold northwester.

Baits were the usual Squid, lug and rag.

With wishbone and pulley rigs.

Result= a gurt big BLANK.

Baits were not touched.
