Unlucky mate good try though !!

 

Might try warden bay or leysdown tonight. Don't know the area at all though...... Any advice gents?

 

Curse of the dogs lol pretty soon you will be holding up that double figure Ray

 

I certainly hope so Steve..... Wonder if you'll get your 6lb mullet first??!! Lol

 

Lots showing on the island had 7 sat evening and 5 yesterday day time. I pm my number if you want some directions.

 

Got to the beach about 10 am Sunday morning, there were a few set up at the slipway so I walked further south and pitched up halfway between the slip and the 10th green.
First rod was baited with a chunk of herring on an up n over and blasted to the horizon (well about 100yds cos that's about my limit!! Lol) and I started setting up my second rod. Almost straight away I clocked the 1st one disappearing off uptide, slightly stunned I grabbed hold of it and stated to wind. I could feel a bit of weight but not a huge pull, maybe a small male I thought! ......nope. A dog.
Unhooked it and cast back out again to continue set up on the second rod. Just as I cast that out, same again, the 1st one was making its way off. Exactly the same senario and a second dog was landed.
Then two hours passed and high tide came and went. Then two more hours at which point a third doggie entered the fray then another two hours and by 4pm I was thoroughly pi$$€d off and went home.
One of these days I'll get it right!! Might try a night tide up there tonight (Monday) ....or I'll take up golf!!!

I have a set of golf clubs if your interested ?

Warden bay at the end of sea defence towards pill boxes and cast along the side of mixed rough ground/mussel beds, go carefull if fishing big tides as high water could cut you off at bottom of cliffs which are constantly eroding.

Tell me about it in the same boat mate. I feel your frustration it will come good that's what I keep telling myself.
I may take a couple of clubs with me next time just in case. lol

 

Know the feeling last time I was a Sarniebay that seal kept popping his head up in front of me lol

Advice would be stay in doors with the weather that's forecast. I thought of doing the same thing but very strong easterlies turning SE around 2am ish which is around the high tide time tonight and a lot of rain, which means I will be sitting at home dreaming of rays rather than fishing for rays.

 

What a wimp. lol

 

Where would you go then Ash? ....if you were gonna that is!!

 

IF I was going to go anywhere I would go to herne bay and set up before high tide (which if the weather man is correct should make the sea very lumpy) and fish 3 hours of the ebb. The easterly should have swung round to a SE so should be bit off your back by then and kings hall produces fish up to 3 hours after high. I have had a few from kings hall this year, mostly on the ebb including two 3hrs after high which surprised me after hearing about times to fish there

 

Steve will get a 7 before he gets near a 6 lb'r

I certainly hope so Steve..... Wonder if you'll get your 6lb mullet first??!! Lol

 

Aw hang it!! I'll try sarnie again! Can't be doing with herne bay, it's been dire of late and don't wanna drive all the way to Sheppy for nowt. Gotta be one with my name on it at sandwich!

 

Hard luck Ben, keep trying mate.

Personally golfing in a strong wind is pretty much a no go as well, lol. Did find a Titleist PRO V1 ball on the way back to the car last night if your interested I'll swop it for some weights, lol.

 

FYI, I f¥<#ing hate golf!!!

 

Was down at Greatstone, the weekend Tiger was playing in the open at Sandwich.

Found this, boy Tiger needs to fix that slice !

 

Unlucky mate, hope you catch one soonish... As you know, keep trying and eventually it will happen. It only took me 3 years so...

Cheers,
Luis
