Had to get out
Davey on Sat Oct 02, 2010 7:18 am
After being ill all week, Friday I felt slightly better and the rain finally stopped about 7pm. I didn't feel good enough to trek down cliffs etc, so grabbing my Bass rod a pack of Mackeral and the bare essentials I was down the seafront, 2 minutes from home.
A running ledger with 4oz plain lead, 6/0 O'Shaughnessy finished off with a large chunk of Mackeral, all cast 20 yards out.
I was set up by 7.30pm with the bait in the water, just in time for the rain to return, luckily I had my waterproofs and it only lasted half hour.
I was getting small tugs almost from the off, finally a slightly better bite and target fish caught, albeit a small one going 1lb 7oz.
Photo'd and weighed I slipped it back, baited up and the small bites continued.
Again about 10pm a better bite with the rod pulling round hard, struck and this felt a better fish, and it was, by 2ozs at 1lb 9oz, must have had 3 shredded wheat as it fought well.
I fished on till 10.45pm but started feeling rough again so called it a night. No sign of the bigger Bass that frequent here this time of year, but there's always next time, and it was just nice to get out.

I was the same too Davey I had to get out lol. I fished seaford by the foot of the cliffs, other people were targeting Bass either ledgering or with float untill the wind and rain hit us. Saturday day time the wind had gone almost and the sea was nicely coloured but all I got was more whiting. Sat night I went to newhaven but got battered about by high winds and torential rain, again only catching even more whiting and pouting.
Once again great pics and report, I cant wait to get over your way!
