Wooltack Point

Wooltack Point 16/11/2007
Time: 6.00pm to 10.00pm.
Tide: LW+2 to HW. Neap tide.
Weather: Started overcast, cleared later. Dry, light SW wind.
Sea: Calm.
Tackle & Bait: Large mackerel baits on pully pennels & simple ledgers.
Fishing: Aweful. Some bites.
Comments: Wooltack Point is way too snaggy. Some patches are ok but a lot seem to have ledges which catch the rig on the way back in, and heavy kelp covered area. Started off fishing facing the islands but the rip was still too fast. The wind was cutting across as well. Moved to a ledge on the Martins Haven side that was sheltered and out of the main tidal flow but lost a lot of tackle. Some good bites, but the whole rig was getting caught in snags so even rotten bottom would not have solved the problem. Won't be bothering with it again as there are better places to fish.
