People: Me
Duration: 5pm until 9pm
Tide: 16:29 (4.2m) 22:34 (1.2m)
Weather: Sw moderate wind. Cloudy and warm
Bait: Eel, Squid, bluey and mackerel frozen
Rigs: Pulleys penels 2/0 to 3/0
Results: two dogs
Report: There was a blusterly wind when I arrived resulting in a small surf which is not good here. I stayed as these conditions often quiten down quite quickly once a squall has past and within a half hour II was rewarded by calm sea with a SW wind that created a good tide flow throughout the session.
Before 6pm I had the post high tide rip down stream that produced a burst of three bites but no fish. The doggies were being difficult. The tide relaxed and the steady tide flow upstream that is usual here on the ebb when a SW wind is blowing. This has in the past given me great yields of ray but all was quiet this evening.
After 8pm there was another burst of doggy bites this time I nailed two. The first bite was resulted in no weight when I went to retrieve so I cut short the retrieve and left the bait out there. After leaving the bait out a couple of minutes another bite gave me a dog to mack/squid. I had a second bite and another dog. I thought I was at last into some fish but the two next bites lead did not hook up despite being left out for a while.
As darkness settled in I hoped for better results but before 9pm weed became a problem and the place became difficult to fish. I could have stayed on casting very short, which can give great rewards especially when there’s weed around, but with the fishing so poor and work in the morning I gave up. Being honest I hate fishing on my own at night which will be a problem coming into the winter.
