South East The Last Of Saturdays Worms

[Shirleycodlin]

Just a quick session this morning.
I set up just behind the power station at Dungeness and flicked out a 2/0 pennell loaded with a single black lug.
Holding the rod I felt a slight trembling through the braided line, moments later the tip pulled round and a sea rat was landed.
2 casts later the same again, only this time the rat dropped off in the surf.
The next 2 casts drew a blank and the final cast, sent slightly further out, saw the bait stripped.
Looks like I'm going to have to work a bit harder for a fish supper!

Good try though mate, that fish supper bass isn’t too far away! ??

Do you not eat the tings? Better eating than the bass if they are big enough

Bloody hard going your having exactly the same issue as me at the moment.... plenty of fish just the wrong fish.
No option other than to stick at it and just pray neptune rewards our efforts.
