| t/q 20th march went to town quay with ashley & hartley, high tide was for about midnight we had rag/lug and squid for baits. it stayed a dry night and the quay was fairly quiet with few other anglers. we started at about 7pm and fished through till about 2am. we knew it was gonna be a scratchy night so small hooks were the order of the day. first blood went to asley with a whiteing of about the usual stamp for t/q ie, bloody small.  hartley followed with another of the same sort o size, nothing else was caught for some hours leading to a fair bit of stick regarding my status as a blanker. the early couple of fish were caught in close, but as everyone else left the quay by 12.30 leaveing room for me to wind up some bigger casts. i stamped my authority as prime angler on the other 2 by landing first a pout  then huge yting ,of at least 8 1/2 inches  followed by another 2 pout for a massive 4-1-1 stomp . all done by 2am and left for home. is it wrong to wish for dogfish ??  __________________ beer so many venues, so little time.

| Re: t/q 20th march To wish for a dogfish? Well I have caught 1, in about 18 odd trips to the coast and 2 boat trips out of Hayling Island. I have heard people getting wound up by them, but as they ignore me, (as other fish do) I have found myself wiching, just to save a blank. __________________ Ignore the margins at your peril |

it was me who had such ideas as;-1, multi mega pulley rig  - which worked 2, the clipped down mega distance anchored float rig, which might have worked , but you can't see to float when its 1oo yards away, unless its flat glass smooth calm and you concentrate hard. .3, calamari, lightly toasted on tilley light , when starved at hurst shingle. __________________ beer so many venues, so little time.
