Edgey, along with Fishy Rob and Slayer met up at the Bus Stop at 7.00am today, shortly after we were joined by Howie.
The day had a slow start, part of the problem being that Edgey and Fishy-rob didn't get their hands on any rag until 9.30am.
Howie broke the duck with a pretty small plaice. Fishyrob then landed a minute Bass. Howie then landed a roach-paper size Plaice.
It got to 1 hour after high tide, 2.30pm and things were looking decidedly shakey.
Then Edgey, who had absorbed some OTG casting tips from Fishy-rob and Howie and was consistently launching a bait out to about 100 yards, noticed a single knock on the rod.
2.5lbs plaice, lip-hooked, kissed cuddled and returned.
There was a distinct green shade spreading from the other anglers.
1 hour later, a small tap and Edgey landed a 1.5lb Flounder. Half an hour on from that he topped the day with a 2lb Flounder, albeit there was some discussion that it might have been a Dab. It was in fact a flounder.
The others eventually listened to the Master; that's enough compliments. Ed. and started to follow Edgey's example by using Rag tipped with Squid. By then of course as Edgey had emptied the entire surrounding area of fish, and despite carefully returning them to allow the others to have go, they all failed miserably:roll1: .
Anyway to cut a long story short, Edgey's two previous attempts at the beach blanked completely and therefore he has paid a huge bribe to the reporter to write this up.
