weather,- clear,dry & cold, moderate northerly winds.

tides , neap, highwater for 2100ish.

sea state, flat as turd. coloured but not bad for solent.

baits, rag, froze prawn/herring/bluey/squid. had black sticky & mank sandeel but did not use.

rigs, drop downs wi small hooks. up n over with bigger hooks.

just a team of two again, we walkedup towards the corner a fair way. small tide, no weed.

tide still dropping when we got there, 4 & 5 oz rips holding all session with no probs. , no sign of fish either but a pleasant day to kick back & watch the boat traffic.

darkness aproached and i hoped things would improve, they didnt. just saw 2 bites all session and managed to hook a pin. no joy for ian either. well...... it is march.

Nice report mate. It;s a bit hit and miss this time of year, but at least you were out having a go.

i can never predict what it will be like here , blank, scrappy little fish , one good one or a field day. have had some good sessions in the past with a good variety of species , but always more miss than hit, & thats not counting the weed dodging chaos

But the next day it could be different! Looks pleasant enough though.
