Whiting
|
Two tiny whiting of 6 inches taken at 02:30 and 03:58 Not a lot else, most people sensibly going home by 22:00. I stayed on hoping that the increase in the tide would give some bottom movement and drag in some fish. What I watched was a storm building up. I gave up at a bout 05:30 as I was uneasy about the waves which were breaking over the Fly Cellars. Tonight there is a bigger tide and the wind has been blowing on shore all day. I don't think that it is a good idea to go out until the tides/winds have dropped a bit. |
