@PerchRockFishing I did have a last cast bite, but thought the lad fishing to my right was dragging my line in again so left it, and was using dongle and circle so fish must of just dropped the bait 😢
Do you need to cast far out to catch a smoothie behind the Morrisons in New Brighton. What kind of ground is it like there as well? Rough right along or only in parts.
Distance matters more at the start of the session. As the strip of 'rough' ground, a mixed shellfish bed, is a fair distance out. So usually a.question of wading out, small baits and putting it as far as you can. As tide drops..hitting the 'rough' ground becomes easier as you get closer. It is tough on end tackle though...not for snags but abrasion.
Decent session 👍 I had one off the double slip at high tide last week, bit smaller than your 3rd but nice to get the first of the year 🎣🦈
Thanks for watching Rich and congratulations on your first one of the year 🎣
Well done mate great angling, closest I got to hound that night was landing yours 😂
It was a tough evening with that strongly easterly.
