Eastoke mini forum meet 18th Nov 2010

[scottish_and_mental]

Firstly i will apologise for the lack of photos but i managed to leave the darn camera at work on Saturday

Wasn't planning on fishing this week due to feeling like death and the weather looking a bit suspect but ended up heading to Eastoke to meet up with Danny , Billy and on arrival founf George and Lee from the forum already set up in the next groyne

Set up around 7.15 i guess and was into fish from the very first cast ! Sandeel enticed a plump dog and half a black tipped with squid or mackerel meant a decent whiting almost immediatley - EVERY cast ..
This pattern continued for me with fish every chuck ( including 2 on a pennel rig ) for almost 3 and a half hours solid

Danny had already benn fishing a while and had hooked a dog and a good few whiting and Bill was into a few fish too ( strangley smaller for them )

Weather was a light southerly , it was amazingly mild and the sea started of with a nice surf but died down as the wind vanished ..

George and Lee had gone on an all out assaut to find summit bigger lurking but sadly to no avail ...

As the tide receeded and low water pushed us further down the beach the big ole moon came out and the fishing went quieter but the odd whiting still managed to annoy Danny
I packed up around 3 am and had a total of 19 sizeable whiting - one of which was easily a pound and a half - and the biggest i've seen this year ,plus amazingly only one undersized , a fat doggie and a couple of jumbo pout ..still no sign of a codling but the fishing was hectic, weather great and all in all it was a fantastic session

Think Dan had got sick of looking at them but not sure if they managed anything else after i had left

Cheers guys for a good night
