Nice to see you finally got some action Sgt. I always read your entertaining reports as they often reflect on my recent efforts, over the last couple of years.
Have been hoping to bump into you some day to share some of our misfortunate fishing outings.
Just missed you yesterday morning as I was tossing up going to Clifton as i have had some great sessions with Whiting from the beach and off the northern walkway but for some reason the last 2 years have been very lean pickings, so ended up at Balmoral Wharf instead.
Using live beach worms I caught a keeper whiting on the first cast, good start. Then nothing for the next 45 min. Changed position off to the beach for about 30 min. until the swimmers and boats put an end to that.
Should have known better, fishing at Balmoral on a Saturday morning is a no no.
I then went to the Spit, which has also been quiet lately, but at least I got away from the crowds but the Marina with the all the moored boats seems to be spreading more every time I go there.
Whiting again was the target but again they were not around. All was not lost as I ended up getting 2 bream at 28cm and 1 at 39cm in about an hour.
Same as you, had to move on just before 9am to avoid parking fees.
Still have a couple of worms left so I may go and soak them down at Brighton this morning, closer to home.
Cheers all.
