Lower Lighthouse

Fished Burnham on Sea this morning 3 up and 1 back down. Very slow going today with only a 1 pound plus cod and 3 skinny whiting to show for my tenners worth of worm! Fished rag,squid,black lug cocktails on a pennel pulley to take the cod and a bomber rig with worm squid tip to take the whiting. Very slow up and down the beach although the angler directly to my left took an 11lb tb ray at low water.
Mud situation was good thankfully today fishing opposite Alandale road

well rich and myself fished there last night
really really hopeing for an eel
drove up in torrential rain but amazingly stopped raining when we got to beach , and wind dropped spot on

Tide was good, everything looked good

i had geared up for the mud


which was awfull infront of the light but better towards town and allendale road

we were both blanking on the eel/thornie hunt ( 4/0 pennels, fresh mackeral/sandeel/crab/squid) so switched to smaller rigs and worm

rich managed a coddling about 1-1 1/2 lb



myself the most anorexic whiteing ever

fished on till way too late for the amount of activity

loseing faith in venue after my first excellant trip
but no doubt will return

It's a very "hit n miss" venue I must say but it does throw up some good fish.

loving the bag wrap Dave . i think i still have Brizzol mud in every crevice possible ! pity there wasnt a few more fish about for yas but its one of those places that you either struggle or strike gold ..Well done on the codlets tho

[nickthenovice]

Thats a good idea Dave, wrapping up yer box! I'll have to try and remember that the next time I fish at that type of venue!

It was flipping hard work. I reckon the mud was an average of 6" deep in front of the light, which made walking to the water to cast tricky. Squid and crab baits went untouched, but as soon as the worm went on I got the codling.

I have to say, dave's bin bag idea was genius. He got back to the car and ripped it off and it was instantly like the box had never even been on the beach. My car boot thanks you mate!

It might be a while before we venture back to Burnham. It's not been very good to us on the last few visits and I think there are other marks we want to get to on the same sort of tides. That mud certainly doesn't help either.

try lilstock and shurton low water reefs,, this time of year use HUGE ragworm baits and rag and squid cocktails,, BIG BAITS you dont need to cast far the fish follow the gullies,,,, soon as november starts switch to lug, crab, squid baits
