ok, 2025, trip 1
3 jan. chesil, abbotsbury, cottages. 7pm-3am
a storm had passed , and the sea had flattened out. a m8 contacted me and we planned a meet. as usual i was late. arriving about 7pm , Rob & Jim had been there all afternoon for just a ting and an eel. i hoped darkness would bring more out to play.
being a friday , with good but cold conditions the beach looked like an airport landing strip, if slightly curved .
tide was springy on a new moon, and the sea fairly flat , high water was about 8pm i think.
the water was probably still coloured . and pretty flat, the wind had settled to mostly nothing and northerly. swell on the ebb were no more than a foot, a clear frosty night.
baits.- all frozen, lug / squid,/ bluey / orse mackerel.
rigs- pennel pullys & up n over , hooks were sizes 4/0 & 5/0's.
fishing was slow and cold, i managed some blank avoidance via a reasonable whiteing,( good sizes showing this year) and a strap of no more than about 2.5lb at best
Rob left about midnight and i had had enough by 3am .
there was a cheer from up the beach about 2am so i guess something usefull got caught.
on leaving, found that gremlins had struck my new car again hope it is just teething troubles . cars are a bloody bane for me.
