….UP.
I was going to post yesterday but tbh either I forgot(again) or time simply got away from me. Thus, today is the day I guess!
The last 2-3 days have all in all been a bit quieter than I was hearing on Thursday when I previously trundled along the wall. I again popped down yesterday and caught up with a couple of people, one a regular down again with his 2 lads fishing on 24 ( sorry Im crap remembering names but you know who you are š ) who not only told me he had been checking up on the blog (nice to know) and was fairly much on his 1st time out fishing with the lads. He informed me that things too him were fairly quiet and they had only had 3 mutts and a whiting, now, if that is quiet i’m typing this all wrong as most this week would have considered the day “not bad” especially as it wasnt quite noon and the tide was only 30 mins past the low mark with half the day still to go.
Nice also to see Nick the warden with his GF and dog “Ellie”. Had a chuckle as his GF walked away with the dog because she saw me stop n chat with NICK and the dog promptly decided she wasnt leaving an parked her rear on the wall not budging, end result the GF joined Nick and fished as well !
To fully round up the water remains coloured although I was told by one of the commercial anglers that water temps have risen and are now almost 10 degrees which is more like the normal for this time of year. Hopefully April brings us some nice sunny & warmer days so everyone can get out, chill out and brush the cobwebs of the fishing gear.
Catch wise this week it started with whiting and plagues of dogfish, tues wed were prob best for the plaice & Fri/Sat slowed up a fair bit the have been herring most days this week and most were saying they are/were very close to the bottom, the bulk of which have been caught in the half hour b4 & after the high water. I guess they were feeding deep due to the poor clarity but yup, it may be a guess. In amongst the herring has also been the occasional mackerel, no doubt lost its way or too daft not to realise its shoal mates were not thee same as it was!
Next week is looking milder with a bit of a stir up potentially next weekend but that is still a few days away and could al change by then.
Well thats it for today so I will bid you all… as usual, ADIEU
