Ladye Bay Ledges. 12-11-17

A chilly westerly breeze greeted 

me at 08.30.

I set up 4/0 pulley rigs

loaded with Lug / Squid

and

Mackerel / Squid

sausages.

I had half a dozen

mangled baits

which were hidden by weed blowing

up the line

or the wind its self.

At 11.30

this small conger took and

held on to the bait.

I had to cut the hook snood

because the conger had swallowed the

bait including the two hooks. 

 As the tide was getting higher

it started to get very splashy.

 There were more munched baits

until 14.16 

when this Conger took the bait

and and pulled the wet out,

this then swept over my other line.

I was lucky to get back both rigs 

as the first was one pulled in the 

second one as it was wound in.

I had to pull the second one by hand because

of a tangle.

That was that,

 with the tide dropping 

I packed up a bit earlier than planned.

30-10-17 New Passage

 High water was 4.09pm and 11mtrs.

I started fishing from the 

ground in front of the promenade

using the usual rigs and bait.

half an hour into the session

this 21lb 5oz Conger gave 

a great fight.

 The Conger enjoyed spinning

and was a bit of a handful to release

but in the end it swam off rapidly.

 There were three other anglers

who caught some small Codling 

but noting very big.

In the end I also managed small Codling and Whiting,

as well as missing a few bites.

Chilly session with a south west breeze.

I finished at 6pm as the tide was 

at the bottom of the rocks.

29-10-17 Ledges Ladye Bay

Back to the Ledges for 08.30

same baits and rigs were used.

Well it was a much slower day

with hardly a bite.

Best of the day 

a small Conger.

Also caught was a a small Whitng and 

tiny Codling.

Weed was a really problem

for the whole session.

I packed up at 13.30 

just after high water as the bait had run out.
