After speaking with a chap at work, decided to hit up Dartmouth for a spot of night time Harbour light action. Have not tried fishing there before. Fished the stretch between the two car ferries, on a pushing neap tide. Pretty clear water, able to see the fish below in the street lights. Fished the Nories Rockfish Bottom UL 1.8-7g, Certate 2506 with Sunline 0.4PE with Ecogear Aqua Straw Tail Grubs & Katsu Aji Straight 2'' on a Shirasu Fine jig head Size 10 1.4g
Met up with my mate, who tagged along to show me some hot spots, and to see what the light action gear was like. Casting out, and a very slow twitched retrieve, could see two flatfish moving towards the lure, with one of them taking it. Nice little scrap, and landed my first flat fish on a lure, a decent size flounder;
Moving along, went out onto a water taxi pontoon, and you could see the fish breaching all over. Flipped a cast into the light, and on the drop a good take, turned out to be a small Bass. The rest of the night it was Pollack action, most taken on the drop off the cast, maybe had 10 in total.
Was a good first session in Dartmouth, my work colleague enjoyed watching the action, amazed at the Flounder. Next time I will take my spare rod over for him, turn him into a convert. Will be deffo visiting Dartmouth again for some light action, and maybe a jaunt out to the Castle area. Lots of potential and a good large area to explore.
