South West Busy Thursday Night

[John Mitchell]

With the bad weather around bananas and I had been discusing about what to do , after changing our minds a few times the forecast said the rain and wind would more or less stop at 5pm , so I got to our choosen mark at 4.30 and it was blowing a gale and raining hard , so I sat in my car and ate my sandwiches then it happened at 5 the rain stopped so out I got , bob was still on route .
Got on the beach wind over the top of me so it was warm coat off and rods set up , got the first one in the water with squid and Sandeel on a 2 hook rig using 1/0 hooks ,
before I got the second rod set up and before bob got here fish on , a whiting no surprise there , it was non stop action from these all night I must have had over 20 only 1 keeper about a pound .
bob handed me a couple of packets WOW worms some old rag and some nice lug just a few to use up .
I also got a single pout , about 6 dogs or more , and the one spieces I always want to catch 2 small smooth hounds .
The rain stayed off all evening and it was warm , we packed up at 9 pm high tide . Bob also had a few fish I am sure he will add his bit on here .pictures are on spieces hunt but here is the hound .

Was surprised how warm it was last night compared to the 0 temp the night before.
I managed to let john keep all the whiting up his end of the beach, with me only hitting 6 of them, best was 1.1 lb but a nice chucky fish, a few dogfish and that was my lot, john hogged the hounds too

Where can I get some of those weather calming sarnies? They would be really useful. Good that you both got out and caught a few.
