2 and a half lobsters from ferrybridge

[pingu]

went off to ferrybridge today in hunt of triggers, but happy for anything
tactics were scratching rigs all day for anything

got there at 10 and as we came over tha bank to meet Geejay saw a guy to his left pull in a trigger, oh yes this was going to be good( they were right on top of adelade wreck we were a bit too right
also Geejay had had a bream and mackeral as well

set up stand and tried to belt out a bait ( birdie No1 of many on this reel for day untill huge nest and crackoff ended play with that reel)
but soon had 2 rods out and fishing

rich took things a bit more leasurely and some 35/40 minutes later he was fishing as well


looking east was worse as looked more like a landfill site with litter everywhere

ok not all fishing related but alot was, especially mackeral feather rig packets, THERE IS NO NEED, both gordon and myself brought back alot more than we created

also gordon found loads of mackeral headed and gutted on beach, if you dont want them dont catch them surely

well unfortunately it was dire fishing after that
there was a good swell and a strong NW wind running straight into us makeing distance casting a no go

Gordon was overcome by it all a took 40 winks


I did manage a makkie in a retrive of a flapper rig and rich feathered a few for bait, but makkie dont really count

gordon left soon after 3 and we gave it till 6
naff all else happened apart from we got cooked by the sun and now resemble a lobster
sitting here glowing now, rich is as bad and gordons the 1/2 lobster


another poor day on chesil

next time as ever

Unlucky on the Triggers Guys, but at least the sun came out for you. I know what you mean about the rubbish on that end of Chesil. If it's not dropped by so called anglers, it gets washed up in Chesil Cove by the wind & tide....

Unlucky and yes the beach looks littered to dead some anglers need some facts of life explained to them

Good report mate.. I'm suffering today. My face and neck are a touch sore to say the least.

It was good to get out and the weather was magnificent, just no fish. Ah well. At least we established the coast road is quicker than the A35 and that I should never, NEVER entertain thoughts of joining a rodeo. Roping is not for me. End of.

Wonder if we can get back up there before the Triggers leave???

That is unless the, ahem, forum can come up with a venue closer to home... AHEM.

Looks like a cracking day for it fellas , unlucky on the triggers

[Twiddler]

I have come to the conclusion that you didn't catch a trigger on purpose, just to have an excuse to go back

Shame on not getting your target fish but nevertheless, it sounds like you still had a good time

[geejayy]

well it was good to meet up again guys,

ping'- ta fer the berger n bacon rolls,

baggie- how long does it take you to set up your rods?

as typed earlier i was already there, i arrived about 2.30am and wandered aimlessly towards the adelaide, as i crested the bank i could see a couple of more tents camped out but no one fishing as the tide dropped
so i set myself up and fished the ebb down to about 6am and daylight.
there was a moderate swell still and the wind was still s/w
i really hoped that it would swing n/w as predicted and flatten out the waves a bit but it was sods law the wind stayed s/w and we had the swell for most of the day.

i caught nothing in darkness and very little in day light , i had a little bream just after sun up with just the odd mackerel that took on the retreive to follow.

bait- mackerel,squid, sandeel.

rigs- pulley, 2 hooks flapping , 2 hooks clipped.

a stiff head wind was significantly restricting casting to 80 odd yards at most , and that was b4 i'd puffed up my reels and lost some line which didn't help.

although its much more sociable i usually hate fishing day light coz its so damn sllooooooow.
but its got to be done for some species.

here's a couple more piccs,

dave and rich
