An Evening Fishing The Live Eels

[NEWKID 26,223]

fook me kev your keen I don't know as I`d give up a few hours on the beer with the lads on a day like today for a couple of small bass -----look forward to seeing the photos at the side of that giant bucket

Don't you start Ffs lol

 

Well me and my mate went down, I had 2 fish in the first half hour ( one keeper one undersize)...

 

We could hear bands playing in the town, I know the landlord of the pub so it seemed rude not to take the waders off and have a quick beer in the sun lol...

 

Happy days lol

You don't half live the life kev! Does it mater much about the state of tide where you fish? I only get 1.5hrs either side of high tide or walk a hell of of long way to fish the channel at low ;(

Haha, don't know about that mate, far too much time in work for my liking!

 

 

It can fish on the flood or ebb here mate, as the tide drops there is a large sandbank, that the recent storms made, this is on the seaward side of the estuary, you can wade out to it and fish the last couple if hours of the dropping tide and first couple hours of the flood. From the furthest point of the bank you can reach the channel easily, can be good.

Once you're off the bank I like to fish the back beach, facing up river, there's a few places along it that produces fish, also the other side of the estuary ( Shaldon side) is good, but if you haven't got live eels you'll struggle.

It's a good river for flounder too in the winter, the British record was from this river, I think it still is.

Devon!! Thats fighting talk over here in the shire :laugh:

Seriously, thanks for the offer its on my list to fish some live sandys, I am on a lure mission at the moment, its just seems to be a real lack of Bass. Tides are better next week, so its game on, hopefully.
