Well friday night janet and i had everything packed and decided to head off, we arrived @ 4am saturday, i was going to fish but it was blowing a hoolie and raining so we just set tent up, got the gear and had a wee sleep,
We were greeted by tons of discarded line, some rigs and rubbish, we cleared it away, shame some people just throw rubbish like that around,
I sarted to set my fishing gear up at around 1pm, 2 rods, 2 slosh30 heavy duty! i was using squid, sandeel, mackeral and Bluey there was nothing much doing during the light, i got a mackeral on the bottom ( not mine ) with a 4/0 and macky
cm75 showed up which was a relief, we had a crack then they set up, a bit later Seaangler-02 , grwright159 and another friend of theirs appeared, we chatted and they told us about the mark, this was the first time i had fished it,
Nothng happened till it was dark, grwright159 was first into a spurry wich was away down tide, it was tagged and released, the tide running strong, my rod was pulling hard but looked more like a fish than tide, i was pumping and cranking the reel, it was heavy and i could feel something, water was low and there are bad snags close in a ledge or cable Seaangler was saying, i cranked it some more but it went solid, i pulled to get it free...PING! my trace snapped, which was strange,
I was GUTTED! i began telling Colin about it then started telling myself it was just weed
I cast uptide and let it come round again, ratchets were off tide too strong the rod started to bend a little, it had to be a fish, i got cranking and pulled in a fat doggy 2.10lb,
cm75 was also into one, thats our blanks out the way
As i was baiting up my orionM2 started to bend and lift the rod rest, i grabbed it and managed to heave the wieght up, i got to the snags and thought " not this time matey!" i pumped and reel as hard as i could and cleared the snags, this was what i got for my efforts, it was on bluey/squid wrap, there had been a big crab on my bait and was still hanging on when i landed the thorny, right at its mouth, it let go and scuttled off, close shave for that one lol
I was saying to janet the last time i was fishing for spurry it went doggys, thorny, spurry
Sure enough one of the other lad was into a spurry of 7/8lb
I was reeling another doggy in and Colin's (cm75) rod started going mental, and so did mine
I was fishing circle hooks on this one and never managed to hook it, its the first time i have tried them, looks like i have lots of practice to do,
Colin however was over the moon to land his first spurry, well done m8!
There was more action, i got another dog and the boys further up the beach got 6 spurry in total i think and tagged 3, i dont have pics for them though, well done guys! tag and release,
I caught a purple 5 pointed starfish and then during day break this one,what kind is it?
more pics
It was nice to meet you all, we caught fish! some even got tagged, had a great time,
Thanks to the lads....All you can eat for a fiver! i was ready for that one!
Cheers, bye
