Right, first an apology for not updating in a while and also not posting about the wall being shut due to high winds but I was out on the piss for my birthday. Yup it was a blast, 1st saw the rocky horror pic show at theatre royal then met friends n family in the mash tun on the piss till just gone 2am… nope no regrets but very groggy yesterday !

So, whats been going on this week or so?
Sadly, no they havnt started working on the west wall yet so more delays until at least after April ! FFS. On the east we still have no F***ing water so no jet washing meaning the bays above 25 are algae covered and slippery as F*** if even a little wet.
What does that mean for anglers ?
the duty warden can only open up these bays if they are properly dry, any splash ups mean that bay is immediately out of use so a pain in the arse for the duty warden calling when they consider it safe enough to allow anyone on the higher bays even if they look dry. If anyone falls the buck stops with the warden so please respect their call even if it means delaying access for a few hours or even saying no it stays shut. A pain but we have to be super careful risking people on those slippery bays.
Ok thats that done , wtf has been caught ya ask…
Well , Nick(warden) reported the 1st bream of the year caught on bay 24 a couple of days back and while fish numbers are still slow there have been plaice, dab, flounder, bass, conger, whiting, herring (over the high) one or 2 mackerel and a single squid during the week and there are still dogfish taking anything chucked at them so varied just waiting on numbers to improve.

Saturday the early forecast showing some fairly strong easterlies but hopefully while it may feel colder it should be ok to stay open, other than that we have some rain Friday evening and probably on sat so please dont expect the extra bays on Saturday or Sunday as the risk is too high but come Monday it may have dried out enough.

Thats about it for now so until the next post I will bid you all ADIEU
