Rigs:Various

Results:1 thornback ray 1 dog fish




Report:great to catch my first fish of 2009 ,first fish since 18 October 2008 :shock: :shock: :shock:
was a nice day but a bit cold,water was very clear and little weed floating around

went to my favourite sandy mark fished for about 1 hour here and had no bite then decided to move about 500m to a weedy spot to see if any movement there
after about 1hr30 mins the rod started to bend and i finely had a fish on the tip tornado i bought before Christmas, had to wait 3 months to feel a fish on this rod,very happy with it
i was surprised to get a ray in so much weed,i fished here until about 19.00 then moved back to the sandy spot,fished here until 20.30 got the dog fish just before i packed up and headed home

both fish were caught on the frozen Squid
great to be back catching again :D :D
