A late good friday report

[Reevsey]

Hi all heres a late report of a session on chesil good friday . I had arranged to meet Pete an hour or so before low water to fish through the rising tide hoping for a ray or some plaice . Conditions looked good and we were all feeling positive especially as i caught a nice blonde on 1st cast not massive but im not the best at targeting ray so i was happy . Then it all went down hill and became a struggle . I had a small plaice to add to the ray as did Pete and Graham with Tom saving the blank with a whiting we threw all sorts of bait at it but to no avail . Fished through till dusk and then called it a day . Fishing was slow but what a lovely day to be on the big beach . Good to see Pete and Tom again and a pleasure to meet Graham for the 1st time . Till next time guys . Tight lines .

Morning Colin
Good to meet you too
I think the sess was more challenging due
to the orange floats about 250 yds off the beach
I had it confirmed couple of days ago they were nets !!!
From Hive to nearly Bexy the bar’ds, so I think we did well to catch anything
Great result on your blonde well done
Catch up soon
Gray

Bang out of order if they were nets .

Well done on the ray on what sounds a hard session

 

[chesilpete]

Bang out of order if they were nets .

They were nets..... largely unmarked, would not be surprised if someone accidentally towed them all into a known trawling path..... by accident of course. The reason they are shot so close is that a little further out they would get trawled and that would be a tragedy.

There is a limit from the coast, obviously wrong place to shoot nets- still need reporting. Hard shit if they get dragged by trawlers, would serve them right - barstuards.

Sounds like it was a tough day, but a pb, sunshine and good company is always a recipe for a a day that sticks in the memory. Well done on the blonde ray - not so many of those down that end.
