Took a trip down the east on the temp quad(on loan) being as my “ok scooter” has now spent 2+ weeks being ahem… repaired” for a change decent conditions , flat sea and sunny. A shame that the catch rate didnt seem to match the conditions. (today as the title suggests is back to the breezy day on the wall & calm nights ! thankfully only for a couple of days longer.
As said the catch rate was lower than expected, granted the water was almost low and the high not until it was dark. In amongst the weed and stripped baits though there were fish here and there with bass mainly top and bottom (im sure you can all work that out by now) bream very much in their expected spots) and overall on the low tough going. I dont have a morning report so hard to compare but some coming off as I arrived were sort of muttering the words blank.
in hindsight the low catches should have been better as local boats were reporting good trips with the wrecking runs doing well and inshore there were plenty of Bream, mackerel, bass, rays and various shark types. Yes its a bit vague but Ive a suspicion that th flood of white bait in amongst the wind farm is causing a temp about turn for the fish hunting fry. As that fry multiply and get larger I’m expecting a spread out from the wind farm as the weeks progress.
We could be in for some decent fishing soon… or , its all in my head and fanciful thinking. On that , only time will tell.
probably wont do a bait run today unless I get a call from the warden saying its wanted as I suspect the wall is quiet today. If you are on the wall and you the shop was shut & you need bait , please let the warden know and I will organise something.
Well, thats it for today. Until next time I will as usual bid you all ADIEU
