Ladye Bay 27-08-16

With Lug, Rag, Squid and Crab

in the bait bucket,

I risked the M5 traffic

to head for Clevedon.

I arrived at my chosen swim

at 08.45.

As can be seen about 20 mtrs of

rocks and weed and then sand.

Usual rigs were used.

From the first cast till the last cast

the little fish were a pain.

Nibbling the hooks clean.

The high water was at 15.30

and 10.4 mtrs.

It was overcast with a northerly breeze and 

a single light shower.

Thankfully I didn't get hit by one of those thunder storms,

that passed east of Bristol

With actual fish staying on the hook

few and far between,

I was none to pleased

when these two fishing boats

passed less than 200 mtrs out.

You'd think they would have steared

clear of fisherman on the coast.

In the end I had 

1 x Whiting, 2 x Codling

and this

Conger.

All taking ragworm.

There were five other fishermen

who all had the same result,

except one lucky fisherman who managed

to reel in a 7 inch Smothound.

I packed up at high water, looking forward to my next

fishing trip.
