chesil, ferrybridge section. had great plans to fish a day tide but overslept & buggered about with home/family stuff.
fished about 1700-0430, complete bloody madness. planed on walking out past the bird sanctuary but a mixture of dark, cold & apathy descended which left me over the bank somewhere between the adelaide and the start of the sanctuary.
low tide was for about 22oo, spring tide and no moon. the skys started clear but the cloud filled in later. wind started northerly , then went around westerly , increased then went southerly bringing rain/sleet. swells looked to be about a meter, but a little choppy.
rigs were,- up n overs /pulleys/ tronix bait capsule.
baits, - froze lug,froze squid,froze bluey, old ting fillets.
with baits fired out i sat to watch. not much happening, noted a few other lights off away either side of me. the ebb found just a few pouts, i set a live bait rig to catch one , caught a bait but nothing took an interest. had one rod dragged into a snag on my left that would not budge & had to break out
caught a poor cod for the specie count followed by a small strap of 3-4 which almost got me

about low tide it turned and ran hard left to right for a while , before changing direction, with that came the whiteing and the rain. hoped i might be able to fish through the tings to find something better but after while was just waiting for a break in the rain to pack up.
was absolutely drowned by 04 and started packing up anyway. this is when the rain stopped leaving me with a soggy steamy drive home.
