Flatties on Mussel

[The Great Wallsendo]

Fished for a couple of hours tonight on Blyth Beach - 1 hour of the tide up and 1 hour down.

Bait - Mussel
Rig - 1/0 Aberdeen....running ledger type affair, breakaway lead

My objective was to catch Flatties and 15 minutes or so into my first cast my rod tip gave a little rattle (and I mean little LOL)...

rebaited and casted out again....20 minutes or so later and another little rattle...

and then...

a 25cm Coalie

At this point I'm on 3 casts and 3 fish...pretty good ratio

4th cast? A blank - left it out for about 20+ mins...oh well, can't win 'em all

5th cast resulted in my final fish...

5 casts equalled 4 fish - all of which were returned

Totally enjoyed the couple of hours...didn't catch huge monsters from the deep but it reminded me why I like fishing and that sometimes you don't need to catch specimens to enjoy what we do

Cheers

Tony

Well done tony, as you say dont have to catch bigfish to have an enjoyable session.

Nice 1 mate. Your right they don't always have to be big to enjoy it. I'm just pleased not to be blanking at the moment. It would be nice to get just 1 BIG FISH tho LOL.

I was looking at Alnwick club results in the paper and someone weighed 1 in 11lb + That would be very nice.

Which end?....the middle

Like I said it was an enjoyable evening, had the radio on my phone and although the wind was quite gusty it was still very mild for this time of year

Could be a Trout for all i know its been that long since i've seen a fish lol

I thought that second Coalie was a sizeable fish...turns out I was dragging in a lost rig with a 6oz breakaway attached as well

...anyway, I'm tempted to go out again tonight for another quiet session

 

[phill_itofish]

i'm not out till tomorrow but i'm going to fish the tide all the way in and back out most the way thinking about ground baiting aswell!!

 

[Lowrider]

Well done,just shows you.
I was going to fish there last night thought it wouldn't be worth it,same tonight,flat sea,not going to bother and made plans.
Old saying,you won't catch in the house rings true.
