Blank down Chesil Beach.19-05-17

After driving through a very heavy

thunderstorm which had slowed

my journey by 40 minutes,

I arrived at the chosen spot

on the shingle.

That storm was still hammering

Yeovil which was covered in hail

when I passed by.

 Weymouth and Portland  was

bathed in sunshine but a chilly on shore breeze

was rolling the shingle around.

 The fishing was a total wash out.

I managed a Spider Crab.

The sunset was really great.

 My son Jason managed this Bull Huss

which can't have been long out

of its purse (egg case).

We used Squid, Mackerel, Sandeel and Crab.

I used a cocktail of all together to set up a 

a good sent trail but no good.

I fished 3.30 till 10pm.

getting home at 00.03.

First point Ladye Bay. 03-05-17

Started fishing at 06.00

with Squid, Mackerel, Sandeel

and Crab.

Fished 06.00 till 13.30.

Low water to the top of the tide.

My reels would be under water at high tide.

 Low tide was 3.4 mtr

high was 10.2mts

There was a chilly  north east wind,

mainly overcast with some sunny spells.

Casting to the left all was good till around

10.00,

them the floating Bladder weed

came floating by.

This caused the leads  to be

pulled out and two

      managed to snag some snags.

                         After two lost rigs I started casting to the right                                

 till the tide eased off and the weed disappeared.

First catch of the day

a lump of coral.

 After that I was casting to the left again

when at 13.00

a strap Conger about 2ft long took an

interest. 

At 13.30 I packed 

up and headed home.
