14 meter tide in the drizzle. 19-09-16

With Ragworm, Squid and Mackerel

in the bait bucket, I walked from Severn Beach

to my chosen spot by the pipes.

High water was 09.46.

Having been caught in traffic due to 

traffic light failure

I still managed to set up by 08.00 and wade 

out through the mud for the first cast.

Well with the usual rigs and bait combinations

and mixes I failed to get a bite before high water.

Every thing got soaked with the continuous

drizzle,

I was amazed that the wishbone rig

rod rattled.

Oh no, not a Snottie (Silver Eel),

but yes a Snottie.

Luckily it didn't tangle it up. 

 The next cast produced

a good pull on the rod tip.

A nice plump Flounder 

took a liking to Rag.

 That was the end of the fish action.

I now it was a waiting game  for the 

tide to clear three of my rigs.

Something had snagged my rigs

and so I waded out through

the mud.

Eventually I found them snagged on

a large length of 50lb + line.

I never found what it was connected to.

At least I had my rigs back.
