Welcome to suffolk. I was one of the 2 guys talking to you then eating ice cream. Think you did better than us. At least you hit target species. We just had a few whiting and a doggy.
Ah yes, the ice cream specialists. At least you got your priorities right! Is it always as tough as this? I've been back a couple of times this week to try different methods but the wind and waves have made seeing bites almost impossible. My third trip, yesterday, resulted in a few better Bass, lots of Pout, a couple of Doggies and an enormous (40cm) Whiting! I will have to come back in the summer for a late evening or early morning float session. See you on the beach and I'll get a round of 99's in.....
Great stuff. I fish for bass on the float with a sand smelt live, really works well when they are active. Small hook through the nose. Great stuff keep it coming - thrown you a sub, made a few videos doing it myself check em out 😊
I had contemplated live baiting a small pout or whiting but didn't catch one quite small enough. Live Sand Smelt = Rocking Horse Poo; you're lucky to have a source!! But I've used them back on the Gower when we could net them off the rocks in the 1970's..... Haven't even seen one in the sea for years...
