Holy moley where the heck did that go, one moment you skip a days report and just like that its the middle of the week.. fek!
Ok first things first.. sort of. No report Monday as had medical appointment(neurology) plus some results were due from past test blah blah blah as they say then the mrs decided on “lets go for a beer” thus SWMBO took me for a beer or 3 ! and as a direct result didn’t do a bait run Monday so didn’t have a report to put up as such.
Tues did do a bait run and as sods law states 3 different people said
“was hoping to see you yesterday”
that comment led to , give me your number so I can call you… hmm, While I know a load of ppl out there do have my number if everyone on the walls over 6 month had my number Id spend most of my days answering calls .
There is a solution though.
I can be reached via messenger IE facebook message links
alternatively speak to any of the guys working on the wall, they are easy to find as they have yellow/green marina jackets on and identify as fishing wardens.
tell them what you want, if its worth while I will make an extra run down onto the east if I am free.
I usually have frozen, black lug, mackerel, sand eels, squid boxes large size & party size, I also have smaller blister packs of large & party squid. I also carry grip weights 4,5,6, & 7oz and plain weights 3 & 4oz, mackerel feathers, a few boom arm rigs and other bits n bobs.
I can also get my hands on some decent new round drop nets that will fill the V’s on the wall, they come in a good carry bag with shoulder strap and the net has a pouch for weights.
.. they are £20 each plus a £7 postage fee, decent quality I have had one for a year.
Ok, so wtf has been happening and less of the bliddy waffle eh!,
oh, yea just thought ! da da daaahhhh….. shock horror it also thinks!
Over the last few days, either on the wall or meeting quite randomly I have had a few people mention that they read these blogs, well if you do read em & you see me either on the wall or just simply out n about.. please say hi and let me know, In the past I allowed feedback comments on the website but too many that had a beef with either me or Dave G would troll the site and comments. It got bloody tedious and annoying so now I post & leave it comment free.
It is great to get feedback even if its only that there is an error on this site,(tell me it will get fixed) please, feel free to stop me and say hi. when I do my runs on the wall I am not pressed for time and am happy to stop & chinwag while on the wall or simply just out for a beer or summat, I don’t mind, and actually enjoy talking about almost anything and as said I always like to hear of any feedback even if ya think the site sucks 🙂
Please feel free to stop me & say hi.
Righty ho, lets do this (at last eh! ) I will 1st of copy the fb group post I put up as is easier than retying it again, and so >>>> FB POST for Sunday run……
A bit of a mixed bag on the east today
Prob to be expected that things were slow and sluggish for many with today being one of those full on damned hot days on the wall.
Over all id say top fished better than the bottom and the middle saw sporadic flurries of joey mackerel.
Loads feathering on main part of wall so expected “other” species caught was quite low bar the guys having thier comp.
Some ppl were crabbing but todays catch for them were mostly hardbacks.
Overall catches included
Silver and conger eels, plaice, bream, bass, wrasse, smoothound pups, and as said scattered joeys on the straight bit.
Best of the bream were on the lower bays wrasse and eels were top end with the palace pier group.
Anyone that fancies joining a friendly group for mostly comps every 2 weeks on a Sunday with the palace pier guys give Glenn Arnold a should and he will give you some details.
I will add here that Sunday when I left just b4 7pm the sporadic mackerel did increase for nearly an hour with just about everyone that wanted , did indeed bag up with plenty of fish caught.
Monday I am basically reliant on word of mouth and the occasional FB posts
Mackerel made an early morning appearance and very few were caught during the main part of the day but again as things cooled there was an increase in numbers. Things during the day were quite tough going , bright sun, heat, clearish water made tougher by masses of weed collecting on rig joints & hooks which was worst over the high.
Bream are on the increase particularly under bay 17 with a noted up on the higher wall section also. occasional conger and one or 2 bass taken. add in plaice number on the rise, gurnard & mullet (no id of type) and a few micro stuff down the sides where rougher ground can be found.
Over all , and I do say this cautiously, things are picking up despite the weed being an absolute pain.
Tuesday I did a bait run with Ironicly at least 3 people saying they missed me on the Monday ! sods law eh! BUT, coz there is always a but in these things…..
If you want/need bait or a few weights/rigs etc for what ever reason, talk to the warden if you dont have direct contact with me they can get hold of me quickly.
Overall(again) there is IMO may rot still in the water although a few say there isnt (so im imagining it) but sea temps are now rising with the sunny days so expect the water to get clearer than currently is. species numbers are increasing and while not at the levels of some years I can clearly see for this year an improvement with better takes of Bass, Bream & plaice the most common (im not counting mackies) and thus we finally come to my meandering typing,
and thus, until next time I will bid you all ADIEU

P.S. I wont be on the wall today as im hedded to the amex
