First hour I had a look for peeler and found three softies ,not productive so went for my plan B ..to go to a very good spot I found this year for harbour rag ..this was much more productive ,and in a hour and half I had enough very good size maddies for my session ..I washed these of and put them in very fine vermiculite , I also put blowlug in this and it firms them up and keeps them good for a few days , I learnt this from a very good fisherman who owns his own fishing shop in Scotland ...then I was going cook myself beans on toast as diggin harbour is very heavy going ,and I was starving , but in my bleary state this morning I forgot my bread , and being a coeliac ,I have to have gluten free and it's not that easy get hold of , so just had to make do with the beans and a brew...
Then drove to greenfeilds to meet up with got shot ,and doom and gloom ..they had both pumped blow so it was a case of blow verses maddies ..
Two hook flapper size 4s
It was a beautiful day to be by the river and catching would be a bonus !!
Doom and gloom aka Bryn , and got shot aka Alan setting up ..
Second cast a nice plaice to Alan on blowlug then Bryn soon had one ..my harbour rag was getting stripped in five mins flat my the Andy mc nabs , after three cast I swallowed my pride and asked Alan for some blowlug..
First cast little plaice ..
Then second cast On blowlug I had a cracking bite that came of on the retrieve ! .then another plaice on the lug ,very small but had a nice gold colour underside ...
Then bites dried up on the lug just before high ..with Alan on one plaice and bryn on two and a few pins there bites dried up , so I switched back to my maddies and put about 8 on each hook ,straight away bites came for the next two hours with small plaice and two small bass....
This one was even smaller , cutest little bass I've seen lol..
Then some how managed one pin and small plaice on one size 4 hook lol
None of the fish where monsters , but it doesn't matter my rod was rattling al through the session , sun was shining and I was in good company ...till next time ...
