Good evening all I headed off to crimdon earlier at 6.45pm got there for 6.50pm stood on the bank tops looking down at the water still bloody heavy 
but thought feck it I'm here. It was only a small low water tide 1.1 so it would be a short session as much of the sand bar wouldn't be revealed. As I started wading through the first gully using my rod stand to check the depth in front of me it went down to about 4 ft so I quickly turned back and sat on my box like a bloody garden gnome waiting for the tide to ebb further, there's a sand bar out there somewhere.
I finally got through the first gully at 8.15 and put a big squid and blacks wrapp out into the noisy darkness it held the bottom perfect with a 7oz lead
after 20 mins I brought it back in un touched. Next cast a big cart and squid wrapp went out after about 5 mins the rod bent double banging like feck wahoo fish on I didn't even strike just started winding and in it came till it got to the surf and came off hence the title 
. So out went another big wrap this time the weed showed up I struggled to get my gear back but managed eventually. Tried again and same thing weed that's when I decided to pack up and return home. It was a bit dodgy on the sand bar as the wash kept rushing in over it at times when I held the rod in the stand it was washing the sand from under my feet which at one point I nearly went over 
so decided to to go home but I'm back out there again on Friday night . I'm sacking the darts for the night 
.Now off to bed as I've got work and up at 05.30.
