Had a bonanza afternoon after quite a few weeks since I was last able to go fishing. The clocks going back meant that I had no chance to get a session in after leaving work. So I took the afternoon off.
Caught 12 in four hours, including some nice real beauties with long lean bodies and great tails.
I started fishing on the west Bank just before the bay by the hut. I have never caught a fish here before, but it really looked like it was worth having a go here. The wind was from the west and it was warm while the sun was out.I fished a Di5 shooting head with a 10 foot leader, black & green booby on the point and an apps red bloodworm half way down on a dropper. Remarkably only 1 fish came to the bloodworm pattern, the others all to the booby. I left the line to reach the bottom and mixed the retrieves up, with plenty of jerks and pauses. Sometimes I was getting a pull every chuck. Half the fish took fairly close in, where I could see the head part of my line coming up to the rod tip. The fish I spooned had been gorging on green and red blood worms.
Best fish was 3lbs and all were over 2lbs and had plenty of fight in them. Everyone I spoke to had had action. Need to try and get an afternoon in next week……………..
