North Shore

Took the day of work today and had planned to have the morning fishing.

Started the day really early, in fact it was still dark at 6.00 when i got to Church Road. Eventually dawn broke and i walked around from Deep Water past Pylon Point and into Church Bay where Peter had caught 6 the day before. The breeze was from the north so i walked around Church Bay to Long Bank. Saw a couple of fish move so set up with an Orange Blob on the dropper and an appetizer on the point.
Just after 7.00 I had a fish follow the appetizer but it turned away. A few minutes later I had one on but it shook the hook, damn and blast!
No more fish showing so moved along the bank to Hedge End where again I saw a fish move. No offers though.

Damon was meeting me around 9.00 so I walked back to Deep Water Point, had a few casts saw one fish move but again to takes. Eventually decided it was worth moving to G so met Damon there.

Well, 3 hours later and not a fish to be seen. Despite the near perfect conditions, overcast skies, good breeze and a decent ripple the fish just didn't play the game.

3 Other anglers at G and no one catching and 2 guys on the stone jetty all morning had nothing to show for their efforts.

Always next time.
