Walkway 17/03/2012

[garyp]

Had a few hours out there today, from about 1030 til about 3.

Dab after dab, the odd flounder and a couple of very small codling, all went back to get bigger!

Great day to be out, and unexpectedley it was quite quiet down there, only a few others fishing.

i'm intrigued that you carried you rest when the railings will suffice!
i'm getting old so carry as little as possible.
well done on the catch - i may try there tomorrow as the tides are easy!

 

[garyp]

It may well suffice mate, but two new primo's resting on railings

I'm just a tackle tart you see

Well done on the catch mate.

Nice sesh matey but here's a tip, just use the top bit of the rest and tape it to the rail and jobs a goodin, saves you having to lug the whloe thing around and will still keep yer zippies in tip top con.

Unless theres a long walk to the mark and your lazy i dont see why not use a tripod. Better bite detection, a place to hang prebaited rigs and a bait bucket from, the only time i do without is when traveling via bus.

picture 1 showing off his tackle dirty boy ..2 canny rods 1 looks like its armed with some type of saltist..also a saltrod stand balancing a rod bag and bait container...a backpack of some sort and a sundridge trolleybox ..a camoflauged coat of some sort to hide from any incoming chavs and last of all a radio maybe listening to music or the match

Tripod waste of space at the walkway mate. Like I said earlier just tape the head onto the rails. You still get canny bite detection like providing there's some fish there.

How r u likeing the avet?

their spot on mate, Ive tried loads of different reels but these are the ones I feel most happiest with.

Nice and strong but also quite light, Ive got two sx mc's and a slightly bigger mxj doubt I'll need anything else

Cracking report mate well done, can I ask what bait took the dabs,? fancy targeting them myself.

 

[garyp]

Was using rag and frozen blacks they didn't seem fussy on which they'd take like.

Cheers bud, I'll have to give it a shot doesn't seem like much owt else about to catch atm.

Nice fish mate. If your worried about scratching your rods on the railings, you can get a Velcro rod holder off eBay for about two pound. These still give you excellent bite detection and are a lot easier to carry. Tripods are good but unessential when you have railings and want to pack light but that's just my opinion.

Good fishing and a nice quiet session for you buddy.

Well done. :thumbup:

I know what your saying mate, but the tripod sits nicely in me rod quiver/holdall,so is very easy to carry, plus when I got dropped off yesterday it was about a 20ft walk to where I was fishing:red:

Fair comment matey but I think you get better bite detection off of the actual rod rest head. Just my opinion like.

Me and Scotty91 got a few on SSP this morning, 44 mark, mine was on rag tipped with macky. I think Scottys was on frozen blacks.
