Went back out this morning to have a try for those bream again. Tides for today were LW 7.45am HW 1ish, so the plan was to drift the piers around the slack for a plaice, then off to the ledge for a bream or two when the tide picked up.
It was an early start 6am and just scraped out of christchurch on the last of the tide, to be met by an glassy smooth sea in the bay, every thing seemed perfect apart from the lack of fish! no wind and nice slow drift (1/2 knot) we stuck at it for a couple of hours but gave up in the end. on the ledge it was much the same,there was a good bit of tide but no bream lots of dogs though and a bonus huss that saved the day
Those bream cant be far away now
