as ive posted before ive been reading and learning the tricks for catching drummer . ( im so keen to land one ) .
My Rig Basic 9' beach rod , small sinker straight to hook about 15lb braid to about 20 or 30lb leader..
headed up to north wamberal got a little cungovie live nippers and a bit of bread .
when i found my spot , the wash was a bit to full on to start the burly as it would of just washed away .
rigged up cast out aming close to the rocks to try and get the pigs to come out for a run , but the dam line was catching every little current /wave and just washing up near my feet .i have read to fish as light as possible but this was a joke !
i upped my sinker to #2 bead , and boom , on the cast i got the distance i wanted and the position . then yep , as it happens another set comes in and washes my rig every where . by this satge im not to happy. no bites on cungie ( not a huge fan of that never get a single bite ) or nippers ( i catch every thing on live nippers ) .
the swell died a bit and i started to pick the correct times to cast between sets , felt a little nibble,it felt like a wave a brushed my line , then again ,STRIKE ! Bang , not a bad blackie ,, Not long after that , a nice bream both on nippers .
that bream took off like a salmon , haha .
had a fun morning was tough work but im still on the hunt ! as im on a/leave from work ill try again tomorrow and let you no . any extra tip much appreciated
