Ferrybridge 18th july

Image
It was a long and productive session starting Saturday 10am -1am Sunday .Although it's a long old walk I decided to fish my plaice mark once again as it hasn't let me down yet and then target the hounds in the evening . I could see a lot of weed on the top but it wasn't a problem for most of the day and the bites were frequent from the off with a small  gurnard ,whiting and some small hounds taking my plaice bait.   For the next couple of hours my baits were getting striped within 10 minutes ,it might have been bream but i was trying to avoid them anyway . I had a text from a mate asking how I was doing when my rod dropped back but reeled in to find nothing so I put it straight back out in the same place and sat down to text my mate when the rod dropped back again!  This time I could feel a fish on and a lovely 1lbs 12oz plaice was landed So i was rather happy with that and another would follow not long after with a nice gurnard By lat

Abbotsbury/Ferrybridge 10th/11th July

I met up with a mate this weekend 'Andy from north Devon ' I said I didn't mind where we night fished but wanted to fish for plaice and bream at ferrybridge Saturday morning .So we decided to fish Abbotsbury through Friday evening and into the early hours .We started fishing around 7pm with clear water and hardly any wind I had set up 20 yards or so away from Andy in a spot that has produced plenty of flounder and dabs in the past and I had a nice Little rattle on my first cast which was a nice fat dab so not a bad start to the day . I started using peeler crab on a pulley pennel before the sun went down and managed 3 smooth hounds in 3 cast, this picture being the smaller of the 3 hounds  but to be honest the others were 4lbs at best ! Just before the sun went down a big shoal of white bait were chased on to the beach by horse mackerel, And later that night a fox enjoyed tucking into them!! So anyway  it was soon dark and with this my mate started to catch hounds

Are July match was a rover from Ferrybridge, Most fished in front of the bird sanctuary or just past and then there was me who opted for the long long walk past it to my mark .There was a good breeze blowing when we arrived but the sea wasn't to bad at all .The match started at 6pm and this turned out to be great timing with the wind dropping right off as we started to fish  . I had already put my first rod and was just coming back to my stand with my second rod when it got knocked over which is not handy when your just about to set the other rod down in the stand ! anyway I managed to juggle the rods and stand around and reel in the first fish of the evening which was a nice little hound . So not a bad start at all I soon had the pre-baited rig out and sat down  with anticipation of the next bite and I didn't have to wait to long at all with a nice hit on my distance rod which was a beam [my target ] Then I missed a few bites before I had another bream this time on
