 Portishead 18th Sept (Night) Hi Fellow Fisher types My mate Sully2010 was free last night, so we ventured to Portishead for the 23:15 tide at 11.13m. Arrived at 21:15 and found two other worm danglers in situ. all quiet was the tale of the past 2 hours. After setting up and casting out, we settled down for a long seesion. Had a chat with the two guys and they were from the local area, one a seaoned 20 years fisher and the other, like me was relatively a novice. Well, they were not leaving till they caught, could be there a while I thought! Sully was the first to pull, a small Whitting, never seen one before or caught one. About 8-9 inches long. It was put back on as bait for a conger. Cast back in and within 2 minutes a big bite, and gues what. No wire trace and bit through the lot. Next was my turn with another whitting about 4 inches long, bless it. Thought it was a stickle back to start with. We left at 04:00 and still, the other two had not caught. Who knows, they might be still there? Regards Nigel __________________ 2011 Target Beat Sully for number of catches 12-11 so far!

| Re: Portishead 18th Sept (Night) You wanna use a hook length of at least 80lb nylon when you hunt conger in the Channel mate as they'll make short work of anything else __________________ Species so far for 2012 Pike,Chub,Roach,Ruffe,Mackeral,Plaice, LSD,Pout |

| Re: Portishead 18th Sept (Night) most dead fish baits work, they are a scavenger fish, anything edible they will take. ref wire trace, dont forget the metal crimps. __________________ good luck and tight lines chris lifes to short for animosity. |
