Ramsgate Beach 24 September 2019

[LandBasedKeith]

Finally got everything sorted out and got the whole day to fish. That's what i thought! Got to Ramsgate beach by 7am and pickup some string weed on the way at Tonbridge St. There ain't that much weed as i had anticipated but i still easily collected enough for one session. Not enough for burley but if i am lucky, there should be some weed at the rock. Must be my lucky day, though high tides but the tides are not that high hence i manage to collected so short weed for burley without getting my feet wet. Sometime i feels like the burleying is a formality but it is worth a try if there is no bites.

Anyway, today i fish on the groyne next to the pool left of Omeros. One, intuition told me there are fishes there and second, someone already there. I don't mind some company. A regular fisho after both blackfish and travelly. He got 3 rods out but no fish yet. And he is nice enough to pack one rod to give me some room to fish next to him. I decide not to use the burley yet worrying it may take away his fish. Second cast, my first blackfish. Then 5 minutes later, another blackfish. Again another 5 minutes later, yet another blackfish. I am a bit worry then but luckily our friend also hookup his first blackfish. Nothing worst than someone comes alone later than you but starts catching all the fish and you still got no bite! I think he is after trevally and since there is no bite, he packed up and went not too long after.  That's when the fun began - i found a school of blackfish or they found me. Bites after bites. As soon i put the blackfish into the keeper net, the other rod would goes off. Oh... i now using 2 rods since i got the whole groyne to myself. I haven't had so much fun for a while. Then disaster strikes as one of the line snap off. And the float was cut loose and started to float away from me. I was so obsess with getting the float back, i forgot to fish. I got my float back but lost the school of fish:( But then the fishes are still biting, just not as frequent. There are lots of small one which i released though legal therefore i didn't bag out until 10:30am. All around 31-32cm. I fished a bit more for fun until my weed ran out.

Lots of people from my badminton sport club has been asking for fresh blackfish! So i am going back tomorrow morning for another session.

Can you get them on the run out tide?

Last 2 sessions, I encounter the school on low tides. Least bites on high tide, my guess is they off somewhere to feed as the high tide gives them easy access to food source. Order from least bites to most bites: Run out from high to mid tide, Run in from mid to high tide, Run out from mid to low tide, Run in from low to mid tide. So the best day is when the daybreak(first light) start with run out mid tide.

Great info!
