Well after a nice bag of sole on last springs and the tide starting to build again I tried again with my mate Nick. Conditions seemed good although despite little wind there was a bit of surf running. First cast and a decent ting and that was pretty much the pattern for the session.
Nick broke the ting curse with a decent tail hooked flounder and I did manage to wrinkle out a couple of sole and a small plaice. With the ting being in so were the straps. I hooked 4 and landed 2 up to c.5lb and lost one around double figures in the backwash. Guess size 4s and 15lb snoods aren’t the best for landing straps?.
Will give it one more shot Friday at top of the springs and see if I can battle passed the ting hordes. That might be it then for the sole till next June ?.
