Decided to have a sea fishing trip today.

After a short stop at Reel Fun 

in Portishead,

 headed down to Ladye Bay.

Fished from 11.00 till 15.00.

A breeze was blowing from my left

a south west wind.

Mainly sunny with

occasional patches of cloud.

The  showers luckily passed by

and left me alone.

Baits were

Squid and Rag and

Squid and Lug wraps

to size 3/0. 4/0 and 5/0 hooks.  

Well from the off the baits were coming

 back trashed, as can be seen below.

Until this 7 to 8lb

Conger came along.

I had four other

bites,

pull down of the rod tip,

drop back of the rod tip,

big bow in the line.

STRIKE

Nothing.

How bad was that.

One of the Squid I was using

had this strange

crab cross prawn

type crustacean in it.

 

Well that was about it.

On the way back

spoke to other 4 fishermen.

Result was 2 small conger for one of them

the rest blanked.

Hope they caught after I left.
