I thought that a visit there over high slack water might produce three new species, high slack water to avoid the weed that the currents drag back and forth there. The water was flat calm and pleasant fishing conditions. I had a few Gobies but they were the Black variety and not the Sand Gobies I had targeted.
A consolation was that size 4 hooks baited with rag tipped with squid cast out seaward side resulted in a Gilthead No. 25 and a Black Bream No. 26.
Two out of three is fair going.
I sat in the car and ate my lunch lunch in the sun, it's not a bad view.
Then I headed down to Boscombe Pier where four hours fishing produced not a single bite. A plaque of spider crabs there chopping off hooks every cast.
A couple of undersized Turbot and a the same of Tub Gurnard, one on feathers, for other anglers who had spent the day there.
