Nice warm day no windsurfers,no dredger,no easterly gale ,no fish!! Went further out than usual to No 12 bouy is quiet deep close in and there is a bit of run ,but just spent a fustrating couple of hours getting bait stripped in mins ,took a few crab with me but they didn,t change anything .The mud is a nightmare at the moment it is very sloppy on the tops of the banks further up the beach i think due to the calm weather we have had recently ,at lw it was welly deep in places and trudging through 400yds of that nearly killed me ,i wound in about a dozen big green crabs i don,t think the fish had much chance so it looks like time to leave Knottend for a while although i wonder if they reappear in the autumn?
