Rigs - Pennel Pulleys/flappers
Tide - high >>> low
Place - Elie Lighthouse
After Wednesday's enjoyable but fish-less session Alan was keen to make up for it sooner rather than later. So a night session was agreed for Saturday night.
Anstruther was the agreed upon venue, however there were a few folk set up already so we decided to move down the coast to Elie Lighthouse.
A generous wee coalie broke my blank first cast, which was great as I didn't want this to turn into a third blank in a row. Baits were getting stripped badly again by crabs.
Alan was enjoying getting a lot of bites and more excitement than our previous trip, but that elusive first catch for him was still not coming. He hooked up a few, only to lose them into snags. We were thinking whether it was going to be another fish less session for Alan.
We kept getting distracted from the rod tip by the clean patches of sky and some wonderful starry skies and one spectacular shooting star!
About halfway through the tide Alan finally broke his duck with a nice coalie.
Another fishing obsession is born I think...
We persisted for a few more hours but in the end it was one coalie apiece and one very bloody angry crab for the session. Still when you can get out you need to go for it good tides or not, it bloody beats a night of X-Factor!
