Fished East lane today with my littleun (Kayla) loads of Codling caught a few pin Whiting and a small Doggie nothing sizeable, all fish caught on crab couldn't get a touch on fresh blacks or rag. Also couldn't get any bites at range all fish caught 40 yards or less. So many small Codling about at the moment Kayla even managed 2 on a pennel.Using her new pink Bass rod.

Lol, she actually did beat me Ian. Orford was a good meet, but the decent fish just weren't their unfortunately. As always seems the case with the island you get your hopes up, but 9 times out of 10 you come away dissapointed. Bass and hounds would do very nicely at the moment as would a ray or anything that pulls back, I've got crab coming out of my ears at the moment but like you say what a waste on just catching undersize bits and pieces. Tight lines mate:thumbs:

Hi Ricky it was nice to meet you today.its been a while since I've fished east lane and I couldn't get over how it's changed with all the shingle gone.
Looking at it at low tide I think it will be a good venue for the bass this summer with all that clay exposed.
I also think I will be getting one of those pink rods from break away as your daughter out fished me today lol.

Cheers

Steve.

Hiya Steve, yeah was good to have a chat with you today mate always good to put a face to a name. It was the first time I've fished their since the storms and I couldn't believe how much its changed either, people have posted about it on here but until you see it for yourself you just can't appreciate the difference and yeah your right it does look very Bassy. As for the pink rod lol, its like casting a stick of rhubarb but shes happy with it bless her:thumbs:

Yeah , you got it in one mate. As you well know we make a lot of effort to collect our bait and fish in matches and meets and put lots of travelling time in. But its nice to fish with your kids and get beaten by them, as I know young Daine is coming on a treat. Hes going to be one to look out for in the future im sure.:1a:

Nice to see your daughter enjoying herself mate, I remember taking my boy fishing a the age 0f 5, and now he is 17 and still fishing well done .

 

[Ricky Bennett]

Cheers brushy-boy, im enjoying it while I can. Kayla is 5 now and is into her mums make-up, clothes and hair straighteners etc. So its only a matter of time until she won't want to join her poor old dad on the beach anymore lol.
