Had my first trip to dungeness on saturday. Got bait from Seagull tackle (great bloke, very friendly). Drove to the point and went through the gate to park the car at the point. Lovely sunny day, but the wind was something else. Basically if it wasn't nailed down you lost it. Braved the wind for 3 hrs then drove back to london with no fish and windburn to boot. Quite disappointed i had no fish but i thought the point was great, power station, lighthouse and some really obscure houses / bungalows there.
I won't be beaten though, i'm going again the week after next..
Used lug tipped with squid. Couldn't detect bites really as rod was moving quite a bit in the wind, only just about held bottom with a seven ounce grip. As for casting, i think i was lucky if i was hitting 50-60 yards. Mind you probably wasn't the best day to try my new rod (greys apollo m2), it felt really strange compared to my usual lightweight supercast x..
Anyone else fish there?
