Cornwall blank

After crawling out of bed at about 11am I had a qucik gander at the local surf check only to see that the swell had properly dropped to just a couple or 3 feet. Yesssssssssssss I thought. My day's work was out of the window and after spending more than hour sorting bits and pieces out (I had washed and sprayed more than 40 lures last night and had them lying all over the kitchen - Mrs not best pleased!) I jumped in the car. Didn't go too far but just headed for where I thought there may be less weed in the water. Some places round 'ere just get clogged with weed when it's stormy.... emr, like it always is! :x

Anyway, just wanted to try out a silly new rod to be honest so jumped at the first bit of fishable looking water i saw. ....nothing showing!

Same at the second spot, and finally at the third. I did manage a bit of exploration that could help out next time, and the rod was ..... interesting! Needs a bit of customisation!

All in all, with all this swell there's still too much colour in the water. It's annoying that you can see the clearer patches about 100m off shore, but just can't cast that far.

it's interesting how much sand has been swept out of my usual marks actually. There are a few tiny coves that I cross between the rocks, on sand, and it's all been totally washed out which makes getting along the coast almost impossible.

Gave it a couple of hours in total, mostly on big tide minnows and the odd sinking pencil bait. Could have done with some heavy jigs in the end I think.

If the seas keep calm for a little while then hopefully there will be a more likely fish catching opportunity coming up soon.
