Fishing

Annie, doing any fishing at Sarfend?

Did a bit yesterday but nothing it’s not a great place to fish as most of the locals get on their boats and go across the estuary.

Off to Stiffkey tomorrow.

I will chuck a rod out, but don't hold out much hope at this time.

Bit early for cod, but could get whiting or flatties.

Had a few hours lure fishing this evening near Teignmouth, resulting in 5 Bass, but none of takeable size. Single hook, so easily removed and slipped them back into the oggin.

It's been a while since I heard that one, Chris.
Thanks for the memory.

Annie, as you amass loads of hooks, swivels, links etc, this is an easy way to store them

Your just too clever lol.

Your just too clever lol.

It's very easy to tip your bag/box over (the best of us do it) and on safety pins your bits don't end up in a jumbled heap.

For tide times, heights etc., I use 'UK Tides' on android and 'Imray' on iphone.
Imray is not free, but gives lots of info.
There is another app for iphone called 'Tide Times' , but that just gives time and height.

Wish I'd seen that tip before I upended my tackle box in the van t'other day Chris!

Great idea Chris ,prob can save fingers getting hooked when raking for a specific hook

I tried an hours fishing on the sea wall but I need to learn how to side cast as I kept hitting the wall behind me not enough room so I gave up after an hour lol but something ate some of my squidgy thing it’s legs were missing on the 3rd successful cast.

Played and landed like an expert!

Well the mackies have more or less gone from the beaches and the bass are getting harder to find; perhaps a good blow will give some surf worth bunging a bass lure into. Might have a day or two further east later on when the weather gets colder, to see if I can winkle out a codling or two.

Dusted off my tackle, and loading the bus ready to try a few spots on the south coast. I know it's twixt and between time, with the winter fish moving out and the summer ones yet to show, but there should be a few flatties and whiting about.

Anyway, it'll be good to get on the beaches again and hopefully meet up with friends along the way.
