12.9.24 trip 8,
2330-0430 milford.
baits;- mackerel, blk lug, squid, mankrag.
rigs , dropdown scratchy rigs, short pennel, up n over.
tide was low water for about 11pm, small tide bright 1/2 moon set as i arrived.
arrived late after turning excusion into a visit mum trip en route , cars and camper vans all over the show at the cut bridge plus had missed the ebb , it was a very small tide not much over a meter range but i didnt want to walk up to find the flood unfishable.
went to fish a spot on milford front beach that i had not fished for a while, rag baits out first in close, as i had caught sole here in the past. but could only find micro pout , live baited one for a while.
no joy on the livebait or on anything else, was getting cold and bored, still very little tide run and minimal weed.
was shocked when finally a bite showed on one of the rods, found a little weight there and brought in a lil' strappy, hooked nice and cleanly with a circle hook.

fished on but no more bites on the riseing tide, got cold and left to fight my knackered car back to wiltshire.
