Embleton beach 08/07/10

Had a few hours over low water on the beach Thursday night. Bait was nice rag dug on Tuesday and fish baits. Got down about 5.30pm with low water at around 7.30pm. Place was littered with jellyfish including this one

Slow start with nothing doing at all, there were little flounders scattering as I walked through the water. Just before low water suddenly bites started. Double shot turbot and flounder, not massive, both taking worm tipped with fish, the plain rag left.

Baited up with three plain fish baits and as tide started to flood another double shot of small flounder then it went off. Lad I was with had a small flounder and small turbot but that was it. Nice night but a bit disappointed with the fishing, maybe a bigger tide was needed.

The lad I was with fished Druridge Friday morning and had 14 flounder, turbot and dabs with 5 to size.

Meeting that jelly fish when out for a swim would spoil your day.
But at least you caught

 

[sandworm]

Shame you had nowt bigger mate.Nice evening to be out though.

Thats a Lions Main jellyfish and its a small one,they grow a lot bigger than that with the tenticals trailing up to 30ft.
And they do sting.......

Canny session mate. Have you tried the south end of the beach ?

 

[jarrowviking]

Nice report, lovely part of the world, but piggin hell that's no jelly fish..........it's surely a whale's placenta!!!!

 

[peter.m]

We moved down towards the south Tony but still nowt, even tried a flounder spoon. Wondering if the westerley breeze which was quite strong or the smaller tide made a difference. Going to try again in a couple of weeks with my little lad.

Nice to get a decent sunset

Well done Peter-i have yet to catch a Turbot.

Last time out on boat at Seahouses i could see loads of Jelly Fish sub-surface. I even saw a seagull eating one--it must have been hungry.
