mike farrants Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 looked like a mild night but a westerly wind blowing so i opted for a quiet sheltered spot i know that usually throws up a mixed bag after dark - i thought it might even turn up a few Squid, so armed with 2x beachcasters and my spinning rod i headed down at sunset. A couple of swimmers still doing their thing so i cast a dexter out (avoiding them) - while waiting for them to finish at dusk the first rod went out - pulley pennel with a biggish bait - old re-frozen mackerel and lug combo bound on. 2nd rod 2 hook flapper with pop ups and squid strip not much happened until after dark - i switched to squid jigs on the spinning rod to keep me entertained - but not long till the flapper had bite - small pout. I changed the big rig to a hole king prawn and managed a small silver eel - greedy thing, same thickness as the king prawn - made a right mess of the rig. my first though and therefore a PB i had a few more pout on the squid - but not much else. one other guy caught a squid - so know they can be caught there GPSguru, Andy135, thejollysinker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Well done on the PB, but I'd rather not catch them. Make a slimy mess of everything. 😖 GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Nice to hear of someone fishing….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollysinker Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 we used to catch loads of silver eels years ago when I started fishing, even on Chesil, normally really close in, real pain in the arse ruining rigs.... don't hardly see them anymore so nice to see, even if it did make a mess of your rig 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
