A day off work, and a trip to Weymouth for the day. Arrived to find Abbotsbury already busy with anglers, so I walked over towards Dragons Teeth, and set up in one of the gaps. Spoke to a few anglers who said that it was quiet.
I fished 3 rods - 2 ledgering big black lug, squid and crab bait, on pennel rigs, hoping for a codling or something decent - and the other light rod just for fun.
Soon I was into some large mackerel caught on a sliver of mackerel under a float (set shallow!).
The mackerel slowed and gave the gars a chance to take the bait, and I managed to take 8 or so in a short space of time, with the biggest going 2lb (pb).
As it started getting dark - I switched the float for a flapper rig, and was soon pulling out, pout and poor cod. There must have been millions of them out there as they were stripping the big baits in no time!
No cod showed during the night - and I didn't see any come out at all along the beach. I did manage a single dogfish (lsd) and a small whiting amongst the pout & poor cod.
Reports seem to show that the fishing is slow along the whole bank! Perhaps will have another go in a couple of weeks!
