2023, february , trip three.
southbourne.
approx 20.15- 0300.
weather,- dry , started overcast but cleared later, light variable winds, cold.
tides,- 3/4 moon waneing, largeish tide with 1st highwater for abour 9pm.
sea state, smooth, occasional sets of swells no more than a meter or so, leaving good tables.
baits,- manky rag, froze lug,/bluey,/sandeel.
rigs, 2 hook flappers, drop down with a flier hook, pulley,
fishing solo tonight, at the mark that shares my name. conditions looked really good just a shame it was in february , any fish a bonus.

fished one short and one long to start, one reel loaded with 12b/bs line on the clean ground hopeing for more distance to see if that helps., should be little weed trouble in feb.
first fish was a micro bass in close on a rig with bling & mank rag. but it took a while to follow it with anything else, bites were few & far between .

but the enevitable pin 'ting turned up, so that was 2 ticks on the half hearted specie hunt.

then the clouds cleared, the moon rose, and it got colder.
