Bagwood Lake fishing well. 21-05-13

Started the day off on the pole

with sweetcorn on size 14 hook.

3 Bream to 4lb 14oz

and a lost carp was a nice start.

But some thing switched the fish off

corn, so changed to the maggot.

 This produced periods of

no action, so switching

between a waggler rod and pole

I manged to keep a steady flow

of some nice roach, rudd and

small perch.

This roach hit 15oz

on the scales.

Total bag was around 25lb.

I also used a ledger rod with popped up corn 

fished over pellet, caster. corn and hemp.

Not a touch.

The other couple of anglers failed to catch anything.

Another nice outing.

What no fishing???????????????????????????????????

I hope to get out fishing

again with in the

next two weeks.

Family illness and other family

problems have taken up my spare time.

Another trip, another result down Baltic Wharf. 07-05-13

Another chance of a mornings fishing

found me on the Wharf.

I started fishing at 07.30.

Only had Maggot for hook bait,

over ground bait and loose feed Hemp.

Two nice Dace on the first two put-ins

and I was feeling pretty good.

But!

The bites slowed right down to less than drip,

I really struggled to find the fish. I fished

from 1ft over depth to 3ft up.

The only thing different

was that water was clearer.

A warm and sunny morning

with a light breeze

picking up later.  

Baltic Wharf 02-05-13

A chance to get down to

Baltic Wharf 

this morning, produced some nice sport.

I started fishing at

07.40

and used  maggot and caster

over ground bait.

I loose feed 6- 10 maggots

and caster as well as hemp

every couple of minutes.

10 minutes in and a good Dace 

was in the bag,

and that started a steady

flow of bites.

This ended up producing

about 4lb

of

Dace, Skimmers

and a couple of roach.

All bites were on the

7 - 9 mtr line.

What a lovely

morning's fishing.

I packed up at 12.15.

Watch out for the

Cormorant 

it knows there are plenty of fish 

out there.

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.

Rockingham 12-04-13

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.

Rockingham 07-04-13

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.
