South East Dungeness quickie!

[Mushty]

Managed a stolen hour and half from work this afternoon at Dungeness.
I had the foresight this morning to throw a rod and bit of bait in the van just on the off chance of an early finish!
Bright sunshine, North westerly breeze and a nice bit of colour in the water.
I started fishing at 2pm just over 2 hours into the ebb.
Fish from the off, 7 Dabs and a whiting in all. All keepers but just took 4 deep hooked Dabs.
The beach was littered with dead queenies and the fish spewed some too so not sure what had caused that?

Yeah considering the short time, sunshine, almost empty beach and gentle breeze it was almost perfect!

Well done on the dabs

Should be using them as bait when a storm has washed them up, same as razors. Fish gorge on them when there is glut like that

Ask Southern Water, the amount of pollution they dump may be the cause.

Ask Southern Water, the amount of pollution they dump may be the cause.

It does beg the question as there was a lot, I’m sure the shell fish are used to the odd storm by now?
But on the other front there was a lot of fish there , surely a lot of freshwater in the pollution would have pushed the fish out?
Who knows…

Well Done Some nice Dabs and Taste nice

Cockles, razorfish, Black lugworms and many other forms sea life have always been washed up along the shoreline of Rye Bay after a series of big storms - of which there have been many over the last few weeks. Southern Water have many sins that can be laid at their door,, but not in this instance.
