Holderness Beach Fishing

[John E Ashford]

Three of us headed for the Holderness (East Yorkshire) Beaches, on Saturday 23rd June 2007.

 

A very early start seen us heading up the M1, dreaming of landing some sort of summer speices on the beach.

 

Our target venue was East Newton, but on arrival we were faced with coastal devistation. The venue normaly offers a gradual track, down to the beach, but in front of us was a sheer 20ft erroded cliff face. Mud on the move, to dangerouse to even think of trying.

 

Back in to the car we decided to try other venues, Easington and Kilnsea, these had received the same devistation. So down to Spurn Road we headed, the road had been breached, but thanks to the local Trust their effort made the Spurn Beaches, accessable.

 

We soon had our base camps set up and by 6.45am baited rigs were heading seaward. Not the earliest start we hoped for but we were now waiting, in anticpation, for our first rod rattling response.

 

The weather for the day, we were to experience hot sunny tempratures, cold winds and thunder n lightning storms.

 

Always thinking positive we waited, n waited for our first rattle, but it never arrived.

 

4.45pm the last cast was sent to the horizon, but by 5pm enough, time to tidy up and return to the car.

 

Yes another successful day, 3 anglers, 5 rods we mangaged a Golden Blanking Session, any true blanker would have been proud to have achieved.

 

With smiles, on our faces, we headed home were the only conversation was about what we are going to catch at the Whitby Boat Fishing Festival, in a fortnights time.

 

Positive attitudes bring great results, can't wait for our next inging trip.

That's taking conservation measures to extremes.
