Fished Seaford last night from 7pm through til 12.30am. Parked at Edinburgh Road and then found a spot just West of there. A very still, bright and clear night with no surf didn’t bode well for a fishy night but I was willing to give it a shot.
Bites were frantic from the start using one hook, DViced ledger baited with lugworm/squid strips. Loads of whiting landed, some a decent size, some not. I guess there must have been a carpet of them, there were that many. This made it difficult to target any codling that might have been around, as the whiting were taking the bait virtually as it hit the sea bed.
A second rod had the usual ledger with Pennel mounted whole calamari lobbed out about 20yards. This resulted in the one and only bass of the night. It was a very thin and scrawny 46cm specimen which looked like it was in need of a decent meal.
By 11.30pm, the bites stopped and all went quiet but I stuck it out for another optimistic hour before calling it a night.
