Today, Saturday 5th January, was my first chance to go fishing in the New Year. I went to my 'usual' spot - opposite the Emirates Palace and Public Beach, on the rocks near the lighthouse. I didn't have a great day, but it was very pleasant as the weather was beautiful. The conditions were very calm, and I managed to catch around 12-15 smallish fish (a couple of blackspot snappers and the rest seabream). No pictures - but they were pretty small anyhow.
I did try (as per my previous posting) a new rig - with the weight fixed to a sliding swivel, but couldn't seem to register the bites very well, so I resorted to my 'tried and tested' method of the weight being tied directly to the end of my line, and two hooks tied further up the line. This method always provides good firm bites as long as you keep the line tight between the reel and the end weight.
Hopefully will be out again next weekend (11th/12th Jan.).........will see how I get on then.
