Well I tried!
Sadly no fish (apart from the cod and chips at the end of the day)
My mate Steve and I started the day at Seaford in the morning just under seaford head cliffs, there were plenty of terns and gulls in the cliff face and quite a few circling above us, sadly the only thing I saw them dive at was my Sammy, patchinko and gunfish. The little buggers wouldn't leave them alone, luckily no hooks ups with the birds and I wisely changed to using shallow divers instead
The water was a bit murky at seaford and we didn't see any signs of fishy life so as high tide approached we decided to take a trip over to cuckmere with the intention of trying the river for mullet with spinners as there are always some good ones milling about. After we got there and ate our ice creams (thanks Mr Whippy) we headed down the long walk to the beach but once we got there the water was so much clearer and looks pretty 'bassy' so we wandered off to the right round the cliffs instead of the river. Theres some nice looking ground down there but again, sadly no fish
Still got to try out some new toys, we tried everything! from Ayu X-raps to Zonks. I am impressed with the the Rapala Maxraps though, cast like bullets and a nice action, I reckon they could be a weapon of choice when the fish turn up!
A very hazy day though, perhaps the volcanic ash from Iceland??? who knows but visibility was pretty poor.
Ah well, theres always next time...
