Popular Post JonC Posted April 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2022 My boat is offline at the moment, so as planned I used the opportunity to invite myself out on @KennyPowers boat from Essex marina. We headed out on the last of the ebb about 15miles east to the Middles, dropping the hook in about 40’. We sat there for nearly an hour with little action. Obviously I told some jokes and just kept morale high until I came up with a plan that involved a short move onto the back end of a sand bank. Within 5 minutes of casting began a steady flow of hounds with the odd dog mixed in. The hounds were all small, maybe 4-5lb but nice to see them in early. As the day went on we managed a few decent bass to 5lb being in that rare predicament of what one to keep. Micky also had a load of whiting on his side, which he was more than welcome to. As the day went on there were more and more dogs, to the point where they ruined the day. If a rod didn’t have a bite for more than 10 minutes then generally a dog was shitting the bait up. I got bored of hop pit wasn’t a dog. They have even learned to make themselves harder to retrieve by having their mouths wide open to cause drag. One of the Fing things came in just biting on the bait and dropped off onboard like a crab does. My usual bait suppliers rag worm was awful, only 2 of 8 packs as you would want it the rest either dead or mushy. And we saw some porpoises which is good. suzook12, thejollysinker, Dicky and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
