A Cold Start Saturday

[Greg]

Decided at the last minute Friday afternoon to go for a day's fishing on Saturday as the wind and sea state looked favourable.

 

But what I didn't realise was that the temperature was gong to be so cold. 

 

I headed for the Patch via the 07.30 bridges out of Cobbs with Bream and other species in mind. The tide was coming towards slack water so the fishing was quite slow mainly small Bream and the odd Ballan.

 

Just before the tide was going to run again I uplifted the anchor and moved a little distance to an old Bream mark.

 

As the tide started to ebb, the larger Bream came on. In fact every drop some nice Bream were coming aboard. All went back alive to fight/breed for another day.

 

As I wanted to up my species I moved to the SRM. No rays but and an LSD and a nice size Smoothound to about 7lb came aboard.

 

I then decided to drift for a Plaice for an hour before going in with no joy but a passing small Bass did oblige.

 

All in all a good day's fishing with 6 species for the day and the a much warmer end of the day too. (Thankfully)

Very like our day.

Sounds like a great trip to me Greg.

 

Making the must of the nice weather is always a good idea.
