Last nightg was my  first session at Brighton Marina for 2008. Although not really the time of year to fish there, I wanted a change of scenery and it’s pretty local and an easy mark. Not the best of sea conditions either with it being neap tides and high water predicted for 9.30pm. Arriving at about 6pm, the sky was overcast but no wind to speak of. Water was still and very coloured like weak coffee.

Chose the East arm and opted for bay 16 where I set up. One rod was tackled with DVice on running ledger with size 1 hook baited with lugworm alternating with ragworm. Second rod tackled with running ledger size 3/0 baited with half mackerel fillets.

Only fish of the night were 5 Bearded rockling and Pout which all took the worm baits. No touches on the larger bait.

Disappointing results but at least I was somewhere else and it made a change. Roll on the end of the month…….
