Fished: Sat 10th (10am-3pm) + Mon 12th (11am-6pm)
Saturday fished the city side for 2hrs, bait was Sandeel/Rag. Rig was 2 hook pater with rag and eel, floated other rod with rag at a plumb depth of 6-7ft.....no luck with either. moved to the far side of Bailey with same setup for the rest of the day, still nothing for me.
Monday fished the city side all day. Bait Sandeel/Rag/Mussel/Peeler. 2 of us fishing, other being my nephew, he took a palm sized whiting in first 40mins on feathers! I think he was hoping for an early Mackerel :lol: .
I was using a 2 hook boom pater, a rig i'm getting very fond of, rag tipped with peeler. Other rod was on a float with just rag. 2hrs into it and I took a Dog, as soon as he landed he showed me what he had eaten for the day :wink: . About an hour later I took a Whiting of about 18cm, the cast after that gave me a palm sized Dab. Same rig and bait about 45mins later I took another Doggie. Seal popped up and hung around for a little while then headed off. Not long after I had another small Whiting, and 2 casts after that another Whiting was on, same size as the other 2, maybe the same one? :wink: Was a good day all in all, the Whiting,Dab and Doggie were taken on an incoming tide.
You may remember I was without a reel for a bit, well I purchased an Okuma Axeon AXS 90, 12 bearings.....super smooth, fantastic reel.
