The first fish landed was a hound of 9lb by myself, swiftly followed by a couple of dogfish also. Richard waders hadn’t arrived so he couldn’t get out as far, Stevie and I were both wading and I was wading a bit further.
It was very quiet on the last of the ebb and it wasn’t until it was dark and just after low water the first bites showed. The pennel being a very small circle at the top of the bottom hook. We arrived just after 7pm (low water 10pm) we were fishing by 19:30.īaits were hardback and peeler crab.
"So yesterday evening myself, Richard Smith and Stevie Bates heads to North Kent to target the hounds again. I had this great report in from Becky Lee yesterday. Meet at Littlestone (Seafront in front of the watertower). Our next match is Sunday 20th September at Littlestone.
Whiting was the main catch plus a few Pout and one dogfish. Venue was moved to the ‘Point’ as the planned venue was busy. Tough going for the four of us who fished on Sunday. "Hi Tony, Finally got the league up and running again. I had this report in from Alex of the DAA Seniors match at the weekend. "DAA Veterans had their 1st match since January on a lovely warm afternoon today although the fish didnt want to playįish caught was whitting ,poulting,bass,eel" I had this report in from Terry Carpenter last week (apologies for late posting). Well I had to continue fishing for a bit at least, I had 2 more bites after that, my Bass actually turned up, better late than never, both were around 35cm, a nice size, and end, to the night." It actually felt like cod fishing lol well, they was out 5/10mins, and I had a nice pull down and a slack liner, I picked the rod up wound the slack and lifted hard into whatever was on the end, it replied "knock knock" I knew what it was all the way in. I hit the baits as hard as I could into a very stiff side wind, as the surf spray soaked me. Lugworm sausages were presented on 6/0 manta and 3/0 pennal. It was an hour to high water, and I only had bed to look forward to. Then it started raining just to test me, I was just about to pack up, but I had 20 lug left, and thought it is Coddy, hell why not. Lol sand, breakers and white water meet me, what ever storm was out there had quiet effect on the sea state, i had seen a calmish high tide during the day at work, but things had turned, right I thought, sole off the menu, its bass time, rubbing my hand together!!! Well 4 hours later and im rubbing Eel slime off my hands, picking weed and fishing net flotsome off my lines. The forecast said 11mph wind and gusts of 20mph, there was no gusts, just constant 25mph wind. Anyway headed off to my mark, the old stamco in Hastings, and as I got out the car, it was at that point I realised I'd up.
