[Eastcoast 6034]

Given the recent weather forecasts, @Bill Stone and I decided that a Sunday morning session 2 hours either side of LW was the best chance of a fishing session this week. A quite fresh south westerly was blowing so we choose Thorpeness where the wind would be off the land we could tuck in behind the shingle. Bill set up with a mix of flattie rigs for a dab and a bomber rig with fresh lug and squid baits hoping for a unicorn. I went just with short snood flappers with frozen black lug on size 4's in hope of a dab. Unfortunately no dabs or codling were to be had, only about 40 under sized tings with only one keeper amongst them. Bill had a bit of excitement when one of his rods was taken clean off the rest, the culprit being a seal which surfaced very close to shore and his bad luck continued with losing a couple of rigs on a snag, That's probably it for a couple of weeks due to other commitments unless temped out by reports of some better catches

I reckon the Seals do it on purpose, they wait until you're sat on your box staring gormlesly into space, then slap the line with their tail as hard as possible, and swim off p1ssing themselves with laughter! 🤣
