Off out this afternoon in the Channel

Got myself 2 dozen live peelers in the fridge (happy days) so off out this afternoon over high to see whats about. Gonna fish a big pebble bank that will allow me to use 3 rods as there will be loads of space and no need to keep moving back. Had a lot of codling from there in sept/oct so will be interested to see what else it'll throw up this time of year.

Will post a report later.

Re: Off out this afternoon in the Channel

Well I went out and although I dont have stories of lunkers for you I did have quite a tidy little sesh.

I fished 3 rods which was no problem as I was set up on top of a steep pebble bank a good way above the previous high water mark and had no need to move either tripod. Set my long rod up with a sandeel /squid wrap mounted on an up and over rig hoping for a ray but knowing that it would almost certainly produce a doggie and as I've not had either this year they were both outstanding for the species hunt.
The other 2 rods were set up with pennel pulleys with crab on one and rag and or lug tipped with crab.

First bite came an hour before high which produced a codling of about 12 oz this was followed by a green eel of about 2lbs a few minutes later. Nothing else until high water and then the long rod started nodding and produced a doggie. As soon as the tide started to run out the bites started coming regularly and I dropped a couple of fish and missed a handful of bites too but managed to catch my first bass of the year (12 oz maybe) for a total of 9 fish and 4 species.
The weather was great too, so all in all not too shabby at all!

Hi Nick,

Have you ever pulled out cat shark eggs from the bottom while fishing or seen any that have just washed up with live cat shark still in them?

Cheers

Bryn
