  • After a tough first day, with many saying they wouldn't even be attempting the Sunday, I had a choice to make. Head North and try to find a beach with enough shelter to avoid the swells, which were forecast to be bigger than the Saturday, or make the pilgrimage to Spurn Point.
    As usual my tackle for the session was:
    Akios Fury FX420 continental rod
    Penn Spinfisher 7500lc
    80lb Berkley Whiplash braid straight through
    Pulley Pennel rigs with 4/0 bottom hook and 3/0 circle hooks up top
    Take care and tight lines!

    Merchandise looks good, but I don't do Beanies (They just ride up on me) and the hoodie look good, but am currently looking for ones that have a high front neck, fishing smock style.

      @WD-41469 Год назад +6

      Cheers from the US.
      Fishing saved my life, and continues to keep me above ground when things get bad. At one time I was on 3 meds per day, and I have to say that getting off them, and on the water, was the best thing I’ve done. There’s still ups and downs, but nothing like the swings from the meds. I hope you can begin a life with less of the one, and more of the other.
      In a side note, I find that the focus required, the preparation, and sense of accomplishment when fish are caught, all connect to our primal needs, from which we’ve been largely separated.
      I believe that many of our illnesses are connected to an absence of our deeply ingrained
      need for exactly this kind of activity.
      Thankfully I work for myself, and have found that organizing my life around things like tides, weather,and moon cycles, (as our ancestors had done) over calendars and clocks, has brought a benefit that I never could have imagined.
      The past is the future, my friend.
      May you be successful in all you do.

    What a heart braker 3 fish but what a different world that was compared to the rest of the venue. Now a little winge this match should have a SET time to fish and the competitors should have ample time to get weight in with the organisers understanding of the time to get weight in from the beaches they are aloud to fish on the free for all aspect isn't right and yes i have been match Secretary and i am on the committee of a very large fishing club so i know of what i talk.

      I think the EOBC suffers from its own popularity, to be honest. Dates are already set for next year's comp, so it shows that there's no consideration for the tide times, etc. I kind of agree with the weigh-in times. It gives a slight disadvantage to fishing where I was. I think without that disadvantage, it would be massively overcrowded.

  • @bobbrewer1355
    @bobbrewer1355 Год назад +1

    If its any consolation then the probable reason for your catch was twofold. 1. The amount of unused bait been thrown in when each angler left and 2. The amount of disturbance in the water from all those leads during match hours. You mentioned that a cod had been caught the previous day from there that earned the angler money. I bet the number of Anglers fishing that day was nowhere near as many as was fishing either side of you. Pity you didn't have the transport to get you back to the van in time. Maybe next year🤞🤞🎣🎣🎣

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Год назад +1

      I think the most likely cause is the state of tides. Unfortunately, the tide times aren't considered when choosing the dates and fishing times it seems. It was just coming up to slack water as the bites came on. Where I was just around the point meant that a lot of weed started to accumulate. I'm pretty sure if I'd have moved, for the 4th time, back to the point it would have produced.

      It's frustrating. But at the same time, the results still don't come out until 7/8pm. You don't really want to be hanging around later than that after a hard day's fishing and another one on the cards the next day.
