Worms and plastics with judith

Just for a change and because we enjoy it , it was off to Portishead Marian for some mini,s on ragworm, then if we had enough time stop off in Bristol docks to try and catch some perch on plastics, we got to Portishead and found the steps at the top end vacant, so we were soon parked in the swimming pool Carpark, and after the obligatory 99 ice cream it was off to do battle with the sneaky gobies, they can strip a hook clean in the blink of an eye, little buggers. We soon got amongst them, never big but hard won,

I did spend a bit of time working a whole small ragworm about and did get lucky.with a lovely bass, which gave a good account of itself on the hto .5g to 8g rock fish rod, but apart from a few more tentative rattles which I think we're from even smaller bass, that was my lot on that. Judith managed a better fish in in the shape of a nice little wrasse, which she managed to catch with her eyes shut.

At about 5ish the bites seemed to stop so it was a quick pack up, a maccy d,s in Portishead then off to Bristol docks , Bathurst basin was where we ended up, normally a good perch are , but it was not to good, I had a good fish on after about 15 mins , which felt like a good perch of over a pound at least, so you can imagine our surprise when a nice roach bream hybrid of about 1 1/2 lb popped up, hooked fair and square in the corner of the mouth, very strange.

 We did get a few plucks and bangs but nothing on the hook till last knocking when Judith managed a small perch on Fox micro fry, so there was at least one in there.

Off to Landsend tomorrow guesting in mat culpins league, its on speci and number 3, so looking forward to that.
