Nightmare neaps..

Me and Smudge fished Walcott last night. We put loads of effort in, fishing from 8pm until about 3am for a school bass and a dab for Smudge and a flounder for me. I suppose I've done ok the last few sessions so I was probably due a bad one. We'd hoped to get a few of the smuts we'd seen over the weekend at Cart Gap, only the next but one beach southward basically. I guess the lesson is don't fish that bit of beach on a neap. We had top quality bait, darkness, a little colour in the water, no surf, on the face of it not bad conditions for smoothounds and the like. The highlight of the trip was a visit by a seal, who slept on the beach next to us all night. They say they're scared of people, this little guy had all the NE Norfolk coast to avoid people, he chose the only beach for miles with people on, I think he just wanted to laugh at us!

The highlight of a poor session, the thing snored louder than Nobby.
