Hendon prom

[Chapman16]

Just got home after fishing Hendon prom with my father, wasn't many there when we arrived at 6:30pm at about 7pm rigs were baited up and out in the water and most people had left by this time apart from two gents fishing at the start of the parking bays.

Had pretty much nothing for the first half an hour then after that the old man hooked into a little dab (no photos as it was unhooked and put straight back to fight again) then things went quiet after that with little bites but no fish to go with them, on the last cast my father got one really good bite but when he picked his rod up to wait for it to bite again it never did

Father beat me on this occasion 1-0 but there's always next time

And one of the two gents to the left of us got a cod which I asked if he wanted weighing and he accepted, it came in at the weight of 2lbs 3oz so congrats to him if he's on here

That's true mate, I enjoy being out for a few hours doing something I like and could never get sick of even if I don't catch anything I still enjoy trying

hard lines mate but if yer gonna get beat, no one better than yer dad
never fished the place but been down and had a look, maybe wrong but at high water looks like a shot where you would need one hell of a chuck, shallow like

Canny way to spend a few hours and fishing from the back of the motor.

Distance not allways needed there, especially the south end of the prom. In the dark especially.

thanks for feedback to my post in this thread canman, like I said, never fished it and maybe wrong so it's good for you to share this knowledge of the mark. Also, south end looks the most promising but so does the north extremity if you could get on that jetty thing.
