| Lee-on-Solent 6/4/8 Fished Lee tonight 2000 - 0100 HW0037 Bloody cold starlit night with strong W wind but died away in the middle but returned and it got even colder .... no bait defrosted at all ! Anyway, came looking for Thornbacks and ..... Pout I got and Whiting ... and pout ... whiting ... pout ... pout ... oh and a great big Whelk ! Caught dozen of each before changing over one rod to bigger hooks so fished with 2 rods with big Sandeel/rag/crab baits - still caught pout !!! Not a single ray although had 2 stonking bites in the hour before HW - had to be rays I think but no connection  ....Defrosting now with a nice cuppa .... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !
