We'd had a little bit of WNW wind, I checked on GB wind map and found there was a good old NW blowing well off the Yorkshire coast. I ordered 50 worms and made arrangements to join Nobby Hall down at Cart Gap. I'd have to wait for Mrs Aitch to get back from work, but with HW at around 1800 I'd be there in plenty of time.

I really fancied it, I even sent a text to PK, he'd struggled at Pakefield during the day. I told him the sea was mega and to watch this space. First chuck a slackliner and a mini codling. I then lost some kit on a snag, which is most unusual for here, its usually so clean. Anyway shortly after HW a massive slackliner resulted in a whiting a little over the length of my measure, I reckoned about 47/48cm and probably 1.5lb in weight. No pictures unfortunately, camera needs batteries and doughnut here forgot to put some in.

Nobby was catching odd mini codling as well until mid ebb when he sneaked a couple of nice school bass around 1.5lb each. I only managed odd small whiting and codling after that, the sea was all but flat by the time we left. Amazing when it was a good 4 or 5' surf at the start. I really thought it would've encouraged a few to feed, the sea's been clear and flat for long enough, still not the first time fishing surprised me and it won't be the last. I got well and truly duffed up by Nobby, which though it's happened before, I don't like it! Could've been worse I suppose, it could've been Karl!

So just a brief update of a local session, things didn't go brilliantly but it was a lovely mild night, the moon so bright we hardly needed lamps. Just to round off my trip, I broke the last 3" off the tip of one of my rods whilst putting it back in the car. Thats going to cost me. I've a trip planned down the Humber Bank on Friday, baits ordered but the trip's in doubt for me unless my new rod comes and Mrs Aitch "lets" me go!
