evening all,
well me and fingers fished an almost untouched fishing spot today ,
kemps quay , with the code to the gate and security guard on side ,it was looking good , reports of a 7 1/2 lb bass caught there last week by another boat owner, i used 2 rods on 1, end tackle being a 1 up 1 down , size 1 hooks baited with ragworm as this is a flounder hot spot as well , on the other pennel pulley , size 4/0 and 2/0 hooks , baits were whole squid ,and mackeral fillets , not forgetting the local delicacy of mussels which were plentiful around the pontoons , arrived at 10.30 only a hour late for me
, tide was well on the run in , the sun was beating down , still very cold though , so up with the gear , ........
first cast for fingers produced this fine flounder , on rag ..........
second cast for me and im in, again a flounder on rag ,.........
then as the tide hit high ,the mullet started showing , so off with the rig and just a size 4 hook packed with bread , groundbaited the area , and sent the hook and bread in the middle of it all , mullet coming straight for it !!!! then swam straight through it without even a sniff, damn these mullet
,
kept trying for about an hour , and with no harpoon and no shotgun , we werent going to catch any , little buggers lol , so went back to the rig and rag , and in no time another flattie for me ...........
as the mullet were swimming past showing us the bird , and p*****g themselves laughing at us , we decided to ignore them , and keep at the flatties , then i had another ........
as the tide ebbed all went quiet , so i stuck on a flounder spoon , and after a few casts had another 1 small so it went straight back in without a photo shoot , most flounder were quite big but very light due to spawning , and were all returned to fatten up , a very nice day and a 5 flounder for us ,unfortunately the big bait rod didnt even twitch all day , despite constant changing and re arranging of baits lol , the best flounder session for me this year with 4 flounder , so its back very soon to this venue which im sure in the summer is going to produce some big bass !!!!!!!!!
cheers fingers for a great day
,
