Alex wall, Seaforth docks

Got there for low water at 12 o'clock in for 15 minutes & pulled this lovely little chap in.



A couple of lads next to me one on the inside like me blanked & his mate just over the wall on the outside got a couple of flatties that would have made nice earings, anyway they packed up & left me a few fresh blow worms as I only brought squid to target rays.

Gets to HW & nothing doing then just as the tide starts to turn I wrap a couple of worms in half a squid & get this little fat bugger.



Not the best day but I targetted 2 & got both so I must be improving.

Both fish went back.

The weather was a cold wind from behind all day but the rain held off until I had packed up, the river was absolutely flat all day, I fished simples with a 3 way swivel straight onto the leader & the weight straight onto this, 3 ft of 25lb fluorocarbon & a 3/o Aberdeen.

Both fish caught with a shorter cast, its really easy to be tempted to cast further than you need.

First time on this venue, next time I might take my uptiding gear.

Every bait came back shredded or eaten by crabs.

top report as always cliff

There was no chance of getting the worm back yesterday, they stripped a whole squid & 3 worms but left all the bait elastic in tact.

You need to be in a club that gives you insurance then you can apply to the docks for a permit.

Joining a club doesnt mean you have to become a match angler & I fish alone or with the misses everywhere I go. Well I start that way but I will talk to anyone hence why Im on here.

NIce pics and great fish there mate, well done

Buck

Well done on the thorny boss,
