A tide or two too late?

[magpies]

Had a day off on Sunday so drove down to Dimmo to fish the afternoon tide up. Carpark was packed and lines of anglers on the beach but when I got down there no-one was catching. Gave it 4 hours without a bite and never saw a fish caught. Lots of lads packing up and calling it a day. The locals were blaming the wind which had a bit of north in it, but the sea was still pretty flat. That's fishing I guess.

Unlucky mate. Fish should be there for a while yet though so worth another trip!

We fished there as well mate, not the best. See andyco's report.

That's the thing with Hound fishing, they can be there one tide and gone the next, there is no rhyme nor reason to it which is a bit of a bugger if you have driven a long way to fish.

It was the same when I lived on the south coast and used to fish the "Mecca" marks at Selsey West and Hayling. Lads would travel hundreds of miles to blank, at least in those days I only lived half an hour's drive away.
