Kingfisher.

Cottage, Portishead. 06-12-17

With only a couple of hours spare,

a box of Squid

and a 13.7m tide,

I chose to fish this

Portishead

spot.

I haven't fish here for a long time.

It has about 40 meters of rough ground

then a patch of sand / mud

Then there is a big drop off.

You need to cast on to

the sand area 

to hope you get your rigs back.

 Well,

I didn't get a bite.

Whole Squid was used on 4/0 Pulley Rigs.

 High water was at 08.40,

I fished from 06.30 till 10.15.

When the tide turns

the lines started getting snagged

but luckily I managed

to get them back. 

So another blank.

But it was enjoyable as usual.
