Hello fishing buddies.
Today, on Fishing Sessions, we are fishing at Cogden beach.
It's a Thursday just around 17:00 so there's not a lot of people on the beach, however,
there are more anglers at this hour compared to last Sunday.
And since it is still a school day tomorrow, we've decided to pack light as we would only
be here for a couple of hours - and with the crab situation, can't really
expect the baits to last.
First cast with both rods, a 120 grams or about 4 oz silverhead lure - just to wet the
line and just in case I am lucky enough for there to be a sea bass around.
As for the bait, I have a few baited hook lengths with razor fish meat on a 3-hook clipped
down rig.
I keep my baited hook lengths and cut-up baits on this water-tight food container
that I bought from poundland just in case any unleashed dogs happen to fancy by.
The tips were showing signs of activity within 10 minutes, so I reeled in.
Sure enough, hooks have been stripped.
So I rebaited... and casted out again.
On the other rod, it's the
same story... a stripped hook.
So I rebaited that one, too.
A quick tip, especially if you are using end tackles like the Gemini splash down solo bait
clips or this Trident Roto Bait clip, make sure that these are clean of debris like weeds
or sands
as these can cause their mechanism to fail and your baits will not get released.
While waiting for any signs of bites, I tried some lure fishing and ended up with this beast.
Anyway, I did promise the kids that we'll be using the kite.
Many thanks for the sponsor.
So after manuavering around the complexity of building this kite kit, it was time for
its maiden flight.
It's their first time to fly a kite so it's definitely a memorable fishing trip.
Retrieved my last hook and as expected, it's been stripped clean.
So the score today....

Thanks for watching and I hope you'd join us again on our next fishing sessions.
