So in a fortnight we have our 24 hr rover comp the tides will be roughly the same as yesterday so me and 2 mates headed up there for a recce arfter last weeks slow day I was expecting better things with the bigger tides wind was again 15 mph sw gusting 20 perfect the weed was an issue but managlble the hooks weren’t getting masked like last week and as long you ten as you rebaited every 15 mins it was ok . I was first in with another codling around a 1 lb an a half then later I dropped a huge Mac Defo 1 lb + but got tangled in my other line I managed another one soon after tho one of my mates gave up early pissed off with the weed but I was determined to fish thru as it felt like it whould kick off well it didn’t my other mate managed to lose a decent fish either a bass a hound or the way it went screamed trigger to my but it but thru his hook length so we called it as a dog ?( it wasn’t ?) I had a scad two tiny pout and a worm of a strap in darkness tried everything long snoods short snoods light floro pullys bar rigs pop ups bass rig bait was spot on and you know it’s not good when fresh Mac baits arnt getting touched at dusk me mate added a scad to his pile that was it 9 hrs fishing not a good pay off seriously thinking about doing something different on the comp now but 2 weeks is a long time in fishing and nothing to say it won’t kickoff then I hope so last few chesil trips have been slowww cheers my butes oh just add I nearly lost my Mac as while re casting Burt decided to pick it up and drop it down the steep shingle bank only just saved it from going back in the drink blood y dog ? ??
