set of this morning at 7 to fish eskmeals side of ravenglass estuary mouth was a bit rough to try to get off the heads safely (st bees)
got there and the yellow flag was flying
nature reserve closed to the public
access by permission at the gate house
for those of you that dont know the area eskmeals is a testing ground for BIG GUNS wich they fire out to sea.
so after a quick crack with the gatehouse it was a no go
firing was going on for most of the morning
so we decided to go and fish w/haven pier
we got there an hour before high water and had the west pier to ourselves
lug was the bait pumped fresh yesterday
between my fishing buddy and myself we had 22 fish
whiteing, rockling, dabs, flounder, cod, coley, and a right ugly looking thing steve said it was a bull head ?wide mouth big head kinda looked like a gurnard in some respect and others a monk fish
cod was to three pound but had a sore on its back coley about 1lb couple of whiteing bout 3/4 of a pound and a couple of flounder 1/2 to 1lb
the rest just small stuff
well were of for some more bait might fish tomorrow not sure
all in all i enjoyed the fishing nice to catch diffrent species
tight lines everyone
