South Coast Blank Report. Preston Beach Weymouth 30 June

Preston Beach Weymouth

As it says in the title, four hours into darkness using a variety of rigs and baits on a beach which throws up all manner of species.
Nothing, not a bite, just one spider crab.





Terns nest on the nature reserve the other side of the road, they were finding it hard work, they would appear from way out to sea carrying a sand eel or two. In normal times they would be diving among your lines and carrying fish back while being mobbed by gulls. The terns take evasive action from the gulls by hugging the shingle bank to the alarm/amusement of those sitting there or walking or cycling along the path at the top of the bank

Hard going at the moment.
I had a couple of hours over low into dark last night at Sandown. One twang from a spider and one pull down, probably another spider, was all I saw.
Disappointing but nice to be on the beach.

Unlucky on not catching there, as you say there's usually several species coming out from there.

Well with a blank mate, give the rest of us a chance to catch up on the species hunt! ?

Sounds a tough session.
