Hi all,
Managed to squeeze my second session of the year in today. Was joined by shortrod (Pete) for another go after the plaice at Brighton.
Today it was my turn to be chauffeur for the day. We was struggling to get some fresh blacks so set of with frozen blacks, squid & blow lug. En route we phoned The Tackle box as Pete did try to order some bait but we was not holding our breath. We managed to get 4 packs (2 score) of so called fresh blacks at £3 per 10 worms from them. All I can say they definitely was not fresh blacks!!!!!!
Anyway onto the fishing. Arrived at Banjo's to find it all ready beginning to fill up with anglers. Pete was off to a flyer catching a plaice on his first cast. We both thought that it could be a good day. But the next few hours nothing. Then it was my turn, I managed 3 plaice in 3 casts. Pete was still struggling after his blistering start. I managed another 2 before Pete finally caught his second plaice of the day. The day went on & I crept my tally up to 7 plaice for the day. Pete was still stuck on 2 but was now attracting the whiting which he eventually managed to get 4 for the session. On Pete's last cast he welked out another plaice making it 3 for the day.
So final scores:
Me 7 plaice, 2 whiting & 1 rockling
Pete 3 plaice & 4 whiting
The plaice sizes went from 28cm up to 35cm today. I kept 4 out of the 7 I caught. Very enjoyable day much, much better than D.I.Y.!!!!!
