Kingfisher 126 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Decided it was that time of the year for the trip for some Sole. Friday night myself and son go to the offshore grounds( 100 metres off the beach!!!) Just as its getting dark anchor down and baits over. A steady run of fish, pout, poor cod, bream, smoothies and a selection of baby rays, thorny, blonde and small eyed. Sole started to show and so did the weed on the flood tide, at times having had bites you couldn't be sure if the fish was on with the amount of weed covering them!!! Not ideal but it kept us busy clearing and keeping baits fresh. 14 in total and 8 of them keepers. Thrown in a thorny of around 6lb going like mad on the light rod and tide. Grabbed a bit of shut eye over the slack while James had an understanding and a chance to practice his untangling in the dark over slack!! Only 2 rods being used when I got up bless him. When the ebb tide started the weed was worse and after an hour I moved in closer just on the off chance of less weed but nothing different, as it was starting to get light decided to start packing up and clean the weed off everything. On the way in a few drifts in the Swash to use up the worms and a good few plaice still about and 4 nice keepers also bass, wrasse and bream. Not a bad night/morning and had Sole for tea so all good. Now to catch up on sleep before it all kicks off tomorrow. Good luck everyone. rich185, Peter, Reel Wizzard and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
