posted on 16/10/2004 at 14:17Fished the sea side of the rubble (22 mark) from 00:30 - 04:15. Not a bite, the bait even came back intact after 15 minutes! A few lads fishing the blocks had whiting and codling at midnight but nowt else.
Had a couple of chucks into the harbour with a 3 hook flapper rig, hoping for whiting, and pulled in a decent flounder, an undersize whiting and a sodden eel. Starting to look good me thinks and then a bloody rat comes along and starts hassling me
. The persistent little sod wouldn't be scared off so I decided to leave. Snag number two - the waves were crashing over the rocks at the first gate where I needed to climb around. Ended up squeezing between the spinning spikey things at the hinge side of the gate (not an easy feat with a seat box, two rods and a tripod
)
Overall a night best forgotten (and still loads of bait to use up
)
