ChrisE Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 We bought a pound of rag, half a dozen peelers and a pack of squid and set out in search of an early plaice off Milford. After an hour or so of fruitless drifts we thought that we'd try somewhere where there might be a fish or two and polled off the The Ledge to try for an unreasonably early bream. First chuck the light spinning rod arched over and line begrudgingly peeled off the clutch. After a couple of mins the denizen departed unseen. I suspected that it was a good wrasse. Can't be sure but we then proceeded to catch 8 ballans up to around 3lb which put up a spirited fight on light tackle. By now it was 145 and we'd been out for about 4 hours and the YC bar shuts a 3, so it was offsky for a swifty. All in all a lovely day on the water and probably the last until Easter when hopefully the first of the bream should have arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike02380 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) nice to get out chris - did you try the spot we spoke about? I'm hoping the bream will be early - some of my strawberries are flowering already and asparagus is poking up so spring is well on the way. seen smoothounds reported on another forum Edited March 19, 2012 by mike02380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
