Seriously lads, things are getting bad, i blanked tonight for about the 4th/5th consecutive time, if i didn't enjoy just being by the shore so much i probably would have given up by now! If any of the guys around the bangor area could give me some tips on somewhere decent it'd be appreciated. Tonight i went to the wee old pier thingy around Wilsons Point, was using two hook flappers with a few red / orange beads on each snood, had mackeral fillets for bait, didn't even get a sniff, i started off on a gripper lead as i thought there'd be some clean ground in the wee bay, however EVERY direction i casted got me into a snag! I managed to free it each time until the last one by which stage i was using an ordinary pear shaped 4oz lead, i lost everything from including the shock leader (now another dilema as Drew has always tied it onto main line for me, i'll need to learn the knot), when the line snapped the rod flew back and i even lost my wee bell on the top of the rod
. After this i just decided to stick on a silver spinner of about 2oz, i've always enjoyed spinning but no luck whatsoever and one poor cast put it in an area with about 15 yards of rocks in front of me, result was predictable, had to pack it in for the night! Maybe a spinner / lure would be more productive off the rocks opposite where i was, the famous spot for mack bashers in summer.
Meh.
Resiliance!
