Bells of hythe comp (milford on sea)

[ray hunter]

I fished the bells of hythe comp last night at milford on sea,
It was very hard going with that north easterly and it pretty much killed the fishing.
I only managed a 17cm pout for all my efforts but the winner had 98cm of fish with a mixed bag of pout and one dogfish.
A few other species made and apperance with a 67cm smutt a Bass and a small plaice caught.
Weed was light to moderate but with the tidal rip as it is down there on a big tide made life difficult fishing at distance.
Im not a fan of match fishing but fish the comps for a bit of fun, plus Al's who organizes it is a mate.
Top prize was 110 quid with 22 anglers fishing.
This year has been absolute rubbish for me so far and my species count has only been pout,whiting,rockling and a token flounder.
Cant even catch a dogfish at the moment!
