8th November - Dengemarsh with Mike, Ray and Alex

Ray with new Sundrdge Cross flow suit and whiting.

Took regular clients Mike, Ray and Alex along to Dengemarsh for this session. They wanted cod, and although there are a few odd fish being caught on the beaches at Sussex, I felt the extra mileage would be warranted by the better chances of the whiskered one on Kentish soils. How wrong can I be......???? It was unfortunately, a night that was not graced by the presence of coddies. There were whiting a plenty, and had we fished for them I am sure treble shots would have been the norm. But instead, we persevered, and watched them bounce off the 6/0 pennel rigs. Some inevitabily did get landed, as Ray demonstrated above, all tucked up in his new Sundridge Crossflow floatation suit, which I must admit looks like a superbly engineered piece of kit!!

Mike with Dogfsih for variety

Mike managed this dogfish for a bit of variety, but apart from that, it was quite hard going. A little after high tide, Ray did have two slack line bites in succession, but no connection.

As usual, I am blinding Alex again, taking the picture of his whiting.

Alex was also adding to the whiting tally, but by 05:00, everyone was very tired, and with some serious mileage to be driven still, we said our goodbyes and made the long journey to our respective homes.
