Had a last minute trip up to Dunstanburgh Castle this afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day, got to the mark at Castle Rock at around 2pm after a walk from the Farm near the Golf Course. Nice and pleasant walk, there where plenty of people out enjoying our coastline today. Prospects looked quite good.
There were 3 or 4 people fishing when we got there, spinning and bait fishing, although we were greeted with the old 'nowt much happening' mumbles and grumbles... Undetered we set about our business.
Tried a range of Soft Plastics HRF style in the hope of Pollack or Wrasse, with no avail, so I changed to my LRF set-up with a Pink Isome. Just tapping the jighead and Isome on the bottom it wasn't long before I was feeling small taps at it. Sure enough......
Long Spined Sea Scorpion.... Thought it was a Short Spined (hence the card short), but after further scrutiny decided it wasn't!
Not much else happening so I changed to a short string of Prawn Teaser / Sabiki Style lures. Wasn't long before this little Fella had a go.....
Shortly after this I also hooked into a small Coley, only for it to drop off on the lift. Packed up and left at 5pm. So all in all a quiet but very enjoyable afternoon, with another species for the board and great scenery and sun.
I'll be returning for the Pollack and Wrasse in a couple of weeks ;-)
