Dry, wet and windy.18-11-15

Another free morning saw me

setting up on the ledges at

Ladye Bay.

It was quite warm with a south westerly breeze.

At first it was clear but later 

the cloud thickened and then the rain

came down with the very gusty wind was back.

The usual rigs and baits were used

with the first cast at 07.20.

High water was at 11.00 and 11.4 mtrs.

There was a lot of Bladderwort

weed floating past so I knew 

there would be problems,

however it was only an annoyance.

The first fish was a 3 inch Whiting

taking Lug and Squid cocktail

on a 4/0 hook.

 This poor Kittiwake had taken

a battering at some time.

Its left leg was broken in two places

and the right on had a gash on it.

It could still fly but stayed about 10 feet from me

most of the session.

However by the time I left

it was well fed.

This is the first Kittiwake 

 I've seen this far up the channel.

Just about at the top of the tide

I pulled in this Doggie (Cat Shark)

to Squid wrapped in Lug and Rag.

The wind by now was gusting happily

and the rain started making the

rock quite slippery.

By 12.00 the weed was back and the 

rocks were very slippery.

So I decided to pack up.

I only managed one more tiny

Whiting which was foul hooked.

So ended another enjoyable fishing trip.
