| Dungeness sat 19/03/10 Well i finally decided on going fishing to Dunge last night with my brother-in-law. I was originaly gonna fish for Thornies over the Isle of sheppy but the local reports were bad, then i considered The ady at Dover but the size of the tide would have made holding bottom nigh on impossible. Fishing conditions were not good, there was a slight easterly blowing and the moon was that bright im supprised i`ve not got moontan!!!! Just as we arrived we saw several people who were on there was home from a comp and they told us that it had been won on a bag on rockling so it was not looking good. I fished with a 3/0pennel rig and set my bro up with a 3 hook flapper and we must have caught 20-30 pin whiting and a few rocking. Baits were blow and black lug,squid and i also tried using the smallest of whiting about 20 yards out for bass. I was fishing just in front of the powerstation and fished from 8.30-2.00. On my way back to the car i was told by someone that a few small codling were caught on the point but it was also difficult to hold bottom and that they lost a load of gear so quite pleased i avoided the hassle as they were only around 1lb. It was good to get out though and my bro-in-law is starting to understand why I go fishing now so wants me to find him a cheap rod and reel. Can`t wait for the weather to warm up a little bit and the crabs to start to peel. Bring on the summer and the fish that come with it!!!
