No fishing again this week. 26-11-14

Once again no fishing for the same reasons.

DOH!

Not fishing at the moment?

Looking after the wife again

so hence no fishing.

Out again next week

if alls good.

Short session down Rockingham 05-11-14

A free evening saw me take Squid

Rag and Lug

to fish and watch some fire works.

With high water at 6 pm

my first cast was at 4 pm.

First cast produced a very dark Codling

which took the Rag and was just under the legal limit.

As the tide was still some distance from the

bank, I put it in a pool so it would stay alive.

I then noticed the other rod had signs of interest'

Sure enough a normal coloured Codling

had taken the Lug baited rig.

This photo shows the different

colours of the two Codling

Well for the next 2 hours there was a steady

flow of Codling coming in.

In the end I packed up at 6.30

having used up 1/4ld of Rag and 1/4ld

of Lug, as well as 3 whole Squid

and had nothing else to use.

I was using 4/0 Pennel Pulley rigs.

High water 13.5mtrs a 6pm

and came well over the top.

Because the wind was light

north westerly and high pressure I 

felt it was safe to fish there.

If however the wind was strong west 

to south west,

I would fished else where.

Ladye Bay 31-10-14

Down to the ledges to test my ankle out

on hard rough ground ,

as well as deeper water.

High water was at  12.02 

and 10.8 mtrs .

Bait taken was rag and Squid

with two 4/0 hooked pennel pulley rigged rods.

Getting there just before 7.30

I did not have to climb down 

as the tide was already over the reef.

So two casts produced two birdies.

NO WAY!

 Well a few minutes of fiddling and 

one was back out and sitting nicely without any bouncing in the tide.

Second one needed complete respooling.

This done a couple of practice casts settled the line down

and a whole Squid was out calling anything out there

to breakfast.

The rag rod produced a Pouting, 

which I kept and used later as bait.

The Squid produced a Codling of about

8 inches which was returned.

As the tide got higher the bites and rattles 

were less frequent.

By now there were around 12 other anglers

all having the same result as me.

The person on my left who had a 

lighter setup to mine, manged 4 small

Codling and Doggies (Cat sharks).

Well I eventually had a small Dogie

on Squid and Pouting fillet.

By now the tide was on the turn

and as there was no other interest,

I packed up and headed home.

One good thing was that I had no problem

with my ankle,

and managed my first run

for 16 weeks

again with out any trouble.

So back to normal.

Might be on the Avon tomorrow

if all's good on the home front.
