After my trip down here last Monday evening and with a 2 month old baby that doesn't like to sleep it didn't take much to realise i would be better off loading my gear and taking the short drive over to 'the Bay' unselfishly leaving the bab to the missus as me working night's i didn't want to disrupt her routine....:yeah: (i pray she never finds this forum!!).
Drove up to the gate by the slip arriving about 9:30pm to see quite a few peeps already at it, maybe up to 20 danglers but no cars so i pop the motor in my usual spot, on the beach. Who put those silly little wooden posts there anyway?? Dropping concrete in to shingle and pokeing a post into it doesn't work!:idea: lol!
I took the short walk past the gate to the first convenient space which was immediately past the first set of proper posts sticking out the beach. Set-up and launched some bluey just in time before the wind came in force and the skies opened up, wondering what i had let myself in for this soon past and i survived unscathed. Had a little knock and wound up a doggie.
My mate 'Jimmy the foriegner' turned up around 11pm after peeler crabbing by the hundreds.... he came bearing gifts in some fresh peelers in search of a hound and my new Daiwa tdz 136 surf (cracking rod, shocking pocket)! Another reason i hope she dont read this!!
About 11:20 had a nice little nodding action going on and wound in to my first Roker of the evening. Landed, weighed and returned to get bigger he went 5.5lb. In my hurry and scurry to return him to the drink i forgot to photograph this one but im not telling porkies.
00:30 ive got another typical (smaller) Ray bite but this one was feeling a lttle bit better. Landed, weighed and photographed this little bitch went 8lb :clap3:
High water was around 01:30 and doggies and pup hounds were plentiful in between any ray action. Then about 02:30 sitting there chatting sh@t with Jimbo, my rod arches over, butt comes off the deck and im in again:fishing1: this one put up a struggle and i knew it was definately bigger than the earlier two. Got her to the beach and she weighed in just under 11lb and i was over the moon.
So three Ray's with a combined weight of around 24lb i had one more cast and decided to call it a day (or night if you like) about 3am. Poor old Jim had nothing on the ray front but he did have a beauty of a birds-nest to accompany his doggies.
All in all another good outing made even better by the fact we both should of been at work (he works with me) but i ensured we got paid.... result :clap2:
Downside is that i am still up writing this as the missus aint as stupid as she looks. So upon returning home i now have the baby downstairs so she can sleep-in (inconsiderate b@tch)!! I wondered why it was so easy to escape the house on the way out. Damn!
All fish returned safely to the water for someone else to enjoy. Pics will be added later when lazy gets up to do it cos im good but not that good.....lool.
Tight lines peeps
Polska (but im not Polish):blink:
