atomichaggis Skrevet April 19, 2008 Rapporter Share Skrevet April 19, 2008 After a lot of thinking about it I finally bothered to take a trip out to this fairly deep harbour area after work on friday. First impressions... It's like Mad Max or some post apocalyptic world. Scenery is... well, a bit on the industrial side. Apart from the piles of wood this place is entirely dominated by this bit of a platform: No hiding from it: So, there I am (all dressed for Siberia while the sun is splitting the sky ) but where to fish from? The front of the harbour wall is the natural choice to face the deep water so after a little investigation I found a free spot in front of the wood that lines the harbour. Very tricky to get to carrying surf rods, pods, bags n' all that! Looks a little something like this up close: And like this from a way back: After setting up and getting underway I was struck that it only takes an amateurish overhead cast to end up in some pretty deep water Once the lead had finally touched down the tip started bouncing with little nuisance bites but nothing that could swallow a 6/O AKI and lump of mackarel so there was a lot of striking at nothing and hanging my gear up... this ground is pretty rough with a very steep slope with many overhangs. After playing cat and mouse with the little mouths nibbling on my bait I eventually hooked something... Deformed Starfish... De Ja Vu: I had another cast and got hung up pretty quick after a bite. I put a bit much pressure on the rod and ping!... lost about a hundred metres of braid and sure enough I hadn't packed any spare so I had to top off with mono... the spool of which also decided to roll away and dive into the sea, luckilly after I had tied it on so with the spool in the water I still managed to spool up So new line, new leader, new rig, new lead and I'm underway again. i ditched the large AKI's and went for a 3/0 on a jelly worm and baited with mackarel and the result was... My first Norway Redfish! : After that there was grillin and drinks, the lovely evening gave way to a lovely night and all that was left was to pack up and go home... and then go out flyfishing til midnight getting dark: Got dark: Shame there wasn't more fish but it was a nice trip and I'll probably visit there again sometime. I think if I'd gone earlier and fished smaller there would have been more fish... perhaps next time Svar på innlegget Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...

atomichaggis Skrevet April 19, 2008 Forfatter Rapporter Share Skrevet April 19, 2008 Like your new reports I prefer to fish on the concrete "pier" There was a boat on the long pier (last pic) and people working in that area so i was trying to stay out of the way a little. Where I was was ok to fish from... only lost one rig ( and 100m braid) the whole time. Pretty impressive place, everything is on such a large scale. I need to visit more interesting places to keep the reports fresh... wondering where to go next Svar på innlegget Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...

atomichaggis Skrevet April 19, 2008 Forfatter Rapporter Share Skrevet April 19, 2008 Thanks for congratulations I'm sure it is a Norway Redfish/Lusuer... but then I'd never caught either before so what do I know Svar på innlegget Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...
