People: Me
Duration: 9.00 pm - 12.45 am
Tide: HW at 11.15 pm
Weather: Calm, very light southerly breeze, mostly clear, mild
Bait: Razor, king rag, sandeel, mackerel head
Rigs: 3/0 pennel, two hook flappers (various hook sizes from 4 to 3/0)
Results: 3 dogfish
Report: As it was a very calm I decided to head back to the new rock mark I fished a couple of times earlier in the week. I was planning on doing some plugging before dark but the water was still very cloudy after the wind on Wednesday/Thursday. Set up two rods with various bait and made a half hearted attempt a plugging for a while but just snagged floating weed.
The bait rods were quite until after dark then timid bites started - missed a few bites then got the first dogfish - taken on razor tipped with a sliver of sandeel.
Two more dogfish followed - again the preferred bait was razor tipped with sandeel segments.
The ragworm was untouched - or sucked off the hook.
I had a bite on the mackerel head but on the retrieve the weight must have snagged and I lost the rig plus whatever had taken a fancy to my mack head :evil: :evil:
I lost a few rigs and weights and one shockleader due to snags.
After I got the third dogfish I decided to call in a night.
Unfortunately I forgot to bring the camera again :x
The second time I have done that this week!!!
