2023, still march, trip seven.
milford.whitehouse, approx 20.00-0100, short sesh'
weather, cold overcast , fog & rain showers, northeasterly but barely any wind.
tides, building spring , moon well past last quarter high water -midnightish 2.6m
sea state , large groundswell , beach erroded away from prom since last visit, pretty much as i watched .
baits, old half dead rag from last week, squid, prawn,bluey.
rigs, two hooks clipped, up n over, pulley
the plans with team utter blankers had been cancelled due to inclement weather, plan had been southbourne. so i planned a solo jaunt to use up the old rag at monks hill . with the snow melting around my house i set off but i ended up going to hordle where there were a few cars in the carpark which made me think there may be a match on so i went back to the whitehouse carpark by the toilet block.

errosion has changed this beach immensely over the years to the point where there wasnt enough beach to really pitch a pivvy on. i set up on the beach. discovering that my suit aint rain proof anymore , hate getting wet, but once wet dont care as long as still warmish.
5oz grips held more or less, plenty of tide but no weed in the water this time of year ( or fish :-(. )
an incoming wave swamped me thigh deep in foam while on beach so i vacated to the prom where there is really not quite enough room to cast a long rod. unless you have the steps behind you.

At least my old flask kept the soup hot tonight , challenging session but no sign of a fish. a good 5ft of the beach had gone by the time i left.
