Success at Last

As I'm up in Cumbria working all weekend I thought I'd take advantage of the situation and give Whitehaven pier another go last night




My session started with a nice healthy sausage and chips  It's hell working away


I was hoping for a Plaice but had no luck with them but I wasn't to bothered as I was getting a fish almost every cast, 7 whiting 3 Dogs and 1 Dab


Not to bad seeing as I only had one pack of frozen Lug



I did keep one of the Whiting for bait as there are Bull huss getting caught and I thought I'd risk getting bit by one
I think I may have had one on as something gave a fantastic bite and was very heavy to wind in and it was kicking all the way in but I had some slack line just as I got it to the wall and it escaped
No idea what it was to be honest but I consoled myself with the thought that it was a Huss
It really did kick and thrash about whatever it was






I only fished for 2 hours and even though it was only dogs and whiting (and a Dab) it was the best session I've had for a long time

Super report pal well done not a bad session for you that

Well done mate great pics of a few fish

Forgot to mention that it was so windy I used my tackle box to hold the rod stand down (pic 6)
It calmed down in the last hour though

Result!

Well done owdddd good report

Next year we'll have a one that got away species Hunt!

Great stuff Dave

Top job that man well deserved you'll get that plaice yet looks like them beads did their work

I have a feeling they may have worked against me this time
The Whiting found the bait in seconds and any Plaice that may have been around wouldn't have had a chance and the dogs wern't put off either

well done dave  a great report  pity about the lost huss but them chips looked good

Great report and pics mate shame about the one that got away

Good going Dave, those whiting are a lot bigger than the ones showing around here so far.

Nice one logger

Good read mate well done
