Sherringham skunking
Fabulous hot flat calm day with no fog so decided to head for Sheringham again. Maybe 6 boats there when we arrived at 7:30am. Fished for over four hours without a touch and saw only one fish boated. First time that has happened to us at Sheringham……..not that we fish there often.}
A buddy took me out with hime to Sheringham yesterday.
We fished from 6:30 to 1 pm. Had widely spread hits throughout the morning (5 total) until 11:00. 3 very long releases. One we played for about 5 minutes and seemed to be really big, but we never saw it--it took several heavy runs. Another we had to the surface was about 10 lbs. Most of the hits were in 80-100 ft of water, with 71 on the rigger. Anchovies with bloody nose and a blue/ green scaled pattern got the action.
As Englishman noted, saw very little action for the other boats except a
nice 20ish lb fish landed around noon.
So we went 0 for 5--ouch--it hurt a little...but it was a beautiful flat calm sunny day. We appreciated seeing other posts similar to this in the last week, and consoled ourselves with the thought that odds are that our "conversion ratio" will be much better next time. Right...?
Good luck!
