East Anglia Weybourne again

[fishing hobbit]

Evening all, fished weybourne again today,
Bait was frozen Black's squid mackerel and bluey,
Rig's pulley penal and one up one down, got there at high and fished it down, first cast dab and whiting on blacks on other one whole squid and whiting and so it continued, halfway down bites tailed off dabs and whiting getting smaller.
Try load pic's.

When they're there and feeding they will be caught

That whiting doesn’t look very well..

It swam away ok

 

[wingnut55]

Whiting tend not to do very well when returned, a lot don't even last till released..

Looks like you had the beach to yourself. Won’t be like that when someone shouts “The Mack’s are in “ a few months time!

I admit I’m getting old and soft as I will rarely fish my local beaches now in the winter as the likely haul is undersized whiting. Even though I am as careful as possible they just don’t go back well.

The problem is we don't really know how any returned fish get on do we, yes we often see them swim off, but how many actually do stay alive..

I have always been a catch and release angler.

I’ve had so many whiting turn turtle when returned……just dosnt sit comfortable with me now. If there was a chance of something decent I would take the chance. As it is I will probably sit on my hands until the Bass return.

 

[Mr Fish]

Good effort though, always like catching dabs!

That's very true shoulder to shoulder

I keep threatening to go across to the shingle for a very early morning tide when they are in one summer but havnt managed it yet. From what I have heard there is a bit more chance of a little space.

That's where I'm lucky I go out on my boat to avoid the crowds.
