tough night at rodney bay

Last night was the first wed match

numbers fishing were low again wether due to comps either end of week, or a totally wrong weather report( said thunderstorms but was a pleasent eve really) or big brother on TV who knows , anyway the 5 of us went down to fish

witha steady wind pushing in the tide we had to time the crossing of the rock platform at the bottom of steps to avoid getting a hint wet gets covered every 3rd wave


conditions looked great for a bass so this was definate target to start


then we found out what was in the water

WEED lots and lots of WEED infact as bad as selsey

well we fished on till 10.30 when the war of attriction became to much
finding rigs pushed up and washed up on the beach 60-70yrds away wasnt fun anymore

2 fish were caught a mackeral of 11 oz and a 45cm bass just under 2lb

with baited breath we waited to see which would carry best specimin size for the comp ( trouble is bass hold a big specimin size so score badly)
the mackeral came out at 39.2%, but rightfully the bass won at 39.6% so well done ken

a tough night

roll on next month, branscombe with a good eve tide, has to be smoothound and bass hunting

going to be good and have a night in tonight, removeing sand from all my tackle

Re: tough night at rodney bay

Unlucky mate, but wasn't the choice of venue down to last months winner????

What was the weed like when you got off the platform and onto the sand then?

Better luck next time Dave. You should be good at coping with weed, with all the practice you've been getting....
