Got out yesterday for the first time in ages, which was a much needed session,  albeit brief. Although fishing is a bit pants at this time of year, I decided to have a bash anyway for some herrings and maybe plaice down at Brighton Marina. After picking up some Raworm and lugworm from the Tackle Box,  I headed for the East arm and got there at about 2.30pm, wich was just after high water. The sea was pretty calm and clearish with just a hint of colour. Weather-wise, there was just a very light Westerly breeze with an overcast cast sky threatening rain which never materialised, apart from a few drops.

Once there, I settled in at bay 30 and setup one rod with some micro sized Sabiki lures and another rod with a 2 hook flapper baited with the worms. The bait rod was cast out and I then set about the business of cast and retrieve with the lures.

For the period I was there, the bait rod remained static, with no indications of interest apart from the one knock which resulted in an 8″ flounder, which had taken the bait after I changed over from a flapper to a running ledger with a beaded up trace. There was no interest whatsoever on the Sabikis.

With nothing showing and the tide dropping away, I gave up at about 6pm. The only upside is that no rockling showed up, which can only be a good thing!
