| well the plan was for another shot at plaice in daylight, but circumstances conspired against me re availiable time & bait so i plumped for dusk onwards at the western end of chesil. with a neap tide & highwater about 11pm, winds light easterly?. i arrived just as the sun was setting and so started by setting up one rod with a wishbone and the last of some sticky black worm left from hayling. having heaved that rig out i then chucked a some shrimpy lures about but no joy, stripped off the lures and swopped for a pennel pulley. then sat back to watch. 1st bite came good with a small ray of a maybe couple of lbs which def cheered me up . i swopped the wishbone for another pulley and what followed was an onslaught of dogs for the next 3 hours or so, i just stopped counting after the first 3-4. ![]() the doggy rattles got a bit more sporadic after 21.30 as the tide rose giving the chance for a good sized (if there is such a thing) pout to get a look in. with just the odd random dogfish to follow i'd had enough by 1am. baits- mackerel/squid/ & a couple of blacklug. ![]() ![]() __________________ beer so many venues, so little time. |
