Poxy weather..

I'm trying to scheme a session this coming Friday but I'm getting no help from the weather. There's a little bit of northerly forecast for Wednesday, unfortunately I have to work then. Tides are quite good building towards the weekend and high water in darkness. I'm going to have a go somewhere I just don't know where. I reckon this month is the last chance for a decent bass off a local beach, for this year at least, and I'll be going with silver bars in mind.

I'll try and talk some of the boys into a go too, but to be honest with light, variable winds and high pressure dominating, I can't see any of them getting enthusiastic about what's likely to be a scratching session. I've got to go, if I don't I'll go mad. A very wise man once said to me that it was important to exercise your mind to stave off depression, Alzheimer's etc. He had an IQ of 150 when he died of a coronary at 45.

There was a report on one of the forums of an 11lb 8oz bass at Aldeburgh this last week, the big fish are definitely on the move to their winter grounds. What pleased me most about the report is the guys enjoyed the sport and returned all the fish they caught and cleared up some rubbish! Deep respect to those lads, not enough is ever said about the positive aspects of our sport, the problems caused by the mindless minority dominate most debates, fair play to those lads and they deserved the sport they had. As for the feckwits that leave litter and line all over the beach, and fill bag after bag with hardly sizeable fish, I hope your next shit's a hedgehog. The report and pictures can be found here:

The ICCM sign up is going quite well, 70 odd anglers are signed up to fish and the prize list is growing weekly. Good to see anglers from other forums supporting this worthwhile cause, keep it up lads! Apologies for posting the link again, but it'd be great if we could make it a 100+ match, been a while since I saw one of those.
