Ladye Bay ledges, 23-04-17

Squid, Mackerel and Sandeel

were the baits chosen

for my trip down to the ledges at Ladye Bay.

I arrived at 07.30 to fish

the tide down and two hours up.

Low water was at  midday.

This was the sight

that greeted me when

I arrived.

It was also the route I'd 

take half an hour later,

as the tide receded.

 There were rattles on the rods

from the off,

First to show was a small

Doggie taking Sandeel.

That was followed by a

small strap Conger on whole Squid.

 Next on Sandeel was a

this rather larger Dogfish again

taking Sandeel'

 After that there was the

occasional bait ripped apart

or totally stripped hook but

nothing landed.

However

big sand at low tide

and really great weather.

 I guess that's the reason

for the shyer bites.

Just look at that photo,

absolute magic.
