People:Me and Ronnach

Duration: from 12:30 to 18:30

Tide:low at 13:03 High at 18:55

Weather: windy and cloudy with sunny spells

Bait: squid, crab, razor

Rigs:pennel pulley, 2 hooks flapper

Results: me: 1 Ballan Wrasse, Ronnach: nice pictures :P






Report:

I'm glad to post my first catch :D

I know is a very long session with a small result, but is a good way to enjoy the sea the fresh air and a chat with a friend.

We started before the low tide on a beach, but because of the very low surf or the location or the time we did not catch anything.

After a long time, we did not want to accept the defeat we moved to a close rocky location.
Before moving we stand looking at a couple guy doing kite surfing :o nice jump evolutions.


As soon as we arrived to the shore I loaded with crab my hand made pulley and few minutes later I got this nice baby 8)
It is 40cm long, sorry there is no picture with the tape measure.

Ciao Salvo, Yes I'm italian :D

Hi all and thanks for the comments.

I'm curious to catch some good fish ( C&R ),I know there is the bass ban good for the population....will see them next month 8)

Some of the fishes here are not present in italy or not so commonis a good challenge to change tactics and bait .

See you on the next post
