jacobs 30/5/8 its still out of sorts competition type report

[pingu]

fished a club competition at jacobs last night 8-2am
conditions were lovely after the rain during the day and i was so glad i carried the shelter down and back for excercise
25 signed in( 24 fished where was the friethmaster??? )

low water was at 9 then fishing up

i decided to fish the bottom of the ramp by the platfrom hoping for a better mixed ba from there

well it was quiet , too quiet and the best bite i had was a scabby little dog that came and nicked my bluey bait from the cutting board
dogs arent even supposed to be on beach may-sept, then later had the audacity to come back and throw it up near us again

well at least it provided some amusement for others

moved onto plkatform about 10.30 as water in by then
and at about 12 eventually got a doggie

others moved along but all were finding fish hard to get

come the end i managed 2 small and i mean small 4oz silver eels as well

although weighed in wasnt enough even for a place but even the winner had only dogs and pout

no mackeral and still no ray yet from jacobs even with 50 rods and there were quite a few who blanked completely

a pleasent eve but still waiting for the ray, they must turn up soon as def out to east but dont always want to travel so far

Starting to get worried about Jacobs now mate... It's June for gauds sake and when was that last time you heard of a decent fish???? It's been a *long* time.

Top marks for effort though mate. Maybe we're just going to have to take that trip East.....
