Friday 9pm I set off, on my own, for the East Yorkshire beaches. The roads were clear and within no time I was parking up on Spurn Road.

 

The only bait was a 1lb box of frozen Squid.

 

I set up my Beach Buddy under the glare of my Coleman Northstar and soon was casting seaward, into the darkness, with a 1/o & 2/o flapper rig attached. I was only expecting Whiting if I was lucky.

 

No sooner had I put my second rod together then the rod I'd just settled into my tripod started to rattle like made. Lifting the rod I felt no resistance, is this a slack liner, I kept the line taught while I retrived. While winding ever so fast it entered my mind that I'd lost the weight and end rig, then all hell broke loose.

 

The rod bent and the rattle n weight of something that didn't want to come ashore was felt.

 

This was going to be my finest shore caught fish and nobody was going to be here to witness it.

 

I felt the reel slipping as the fish was trying to take off. I didn’t want to tighten the drag but played the fish. My heart was beating, my mind was all over the place as I couldn’t see what was coming in.

 

Then in front of me, splashing about in the surf, was the most beautiful sight of what looked like a Cod. Slowly I kept the line tight as I wound in little by little.

 

I then managed to get me hand into its gill; this was a leviathan of a Cod, I could hardly pull it out of the surf.

 

Then whoosh a fluffing great wave washed over me, next thing the wife was shouting are you getting up for work or are you going to lay there all day.

 

Women why do they always spoil it.. :drunk:

Cheers 4 Now

Ah shucks, so no photo's then. B)

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
