Popular Post Herbs73 Posted July 29 Popular Post Posted July 29 Not managed much fishing lately due to work but yesterday came free so i grabbed the opportunity. Picked up my couzin David at 5am amd was driving out Brightlingsea harbour by 5.30. We headed for the priory spit hoping for smoothounds with an hour Before higj water left, but jt was a bit slow, David had 1 houmd at 6lb and i had a couple of doggies. We fished it down for an hour so and them moved up on to the gunfleet where it picked up a bit i had 1 bass at 3lb and 4 hounds around ths 6&7 lb mark amd a small tope, David didnt get a bite which caused him some consternation, he put it down to the side of the boat i was fishing from unitl the tide turned again and the boat swung round amd i carried on catching and he didnt. We fished the tide back up for a few hours then moved back to the priory where there was now 3 charters and 2 privateers and we were straigjt into the hounds. My total was 12 hounds with the biggest at 13lb and David had 4. Bait was ragworm amd squid. Great day especially winding up David about his poor fishing skills. mick, JDP, Dicky and 2 others 5 Quote
