Evening ladies and gentlemen,
Said it before but I’ve gone off driving for 70 minutes to Dungie / Hythe to catch pin whiting so decided to focus local and see if I can catch anything. So this thread is dedicated to the Medway and spots I can walk to!
Today started off by digging some lovely fresh lug:
Anyone that fishes the medway knows crabs are a problem so I made up a three hook flapper with light line, small hooks and pop up beads on two of the snoods. Bottom hook fished the seabed with big baits.
Arrived a few hours before high and fished up to the top of the tide.
First in with fairly large dogfish that remained pleasingly calm during the unhooking:
Went quiet for a while but when the tide picked up I started getting obvious bass bites one of which resulted in this fat little schoolie:
It went quiet again when the tide dropped off but I had plenty of entertainment from the local lambs who were unbothered by my presence.
Final fish of the day was another doggy; smaller than the first but much angrier:
As the sun dropped the bait was getting stripped in minutes and coupled with the temperature dropping I called it a day. Will probably have another go as have plenty of bait left.
Cheers,
Robert
