Another early session this morning.
I had a gut feeling that the east beach at Dungeness would produce a bass so, armed with a few fresh worms, that is where I headed.
I cast out just as the flooding tide hit the shingle and immediately has a bite, fish on!
Halfway in, all went light, the fish was off!
A slime covered trace told the tale. An eel was the culprit.
Second cast and I missed a good bite. Third cast saw an angry snot serpent landed!
Two more missed bites followed then nothing till I packed up.
In the back of my mind I knew I should have gone round to galloways beach. With the wind on shore there, and little surf running I may well have done better.
Oh well, always next time.
Apologies for the poor photo, the eel was camera shy!
