25/7/11 Eastborough!

As the tides were very small today, I decided to travel down to the Eastborough Bank in search of tope.Mackerel are now showing everywhere and it was easy to quickly pick up enough bait but the same cannot be said for the target specie,or indeed any other specie for that matter.
Listening to the other boats, it would appear that it was the same story everywhere, although i did hear of a small boat that was anchored up taking plaice through the day.
I saw Neil drifting in the distance so decided to pop over for a chat which resulted in being invited to join him at a mark on the west edge of the bank.I did pick up a doggie here ' and appreciated the help, but it was a tough day all round.
