Yesterday was a baaaaaad day of fishing… I was all fired up and ready to go, and indeed, it seemed as though all would be perfect. I got there 2 hrs before the heigh tide, unpacked my tackle, standard 3 rod set up, one with 2 big hook system, one medium size hook long line system, and one 2 small hook system – hook size 4, as I was using sand worms I had dug up the day before…
And indeed, there was some fish to be caught, mainly small sargo and mucharra, but also a small seabream… current was strong, weaves were digging up the sand, it all seemed quite appealing…
BUT, the trouble was the strong South – South-westerly wind. I mean STRONG!!! Not only was I casting against the wind, but it was also not enjoyable to stay on the beach. After 2 hours I began getting nervous, jumpy… And the wind kept picking up and I started getting a headache. So, finally, I was the first one to leave, I could not stand it anymore… Later I heard from others who had stayed behind that fishing actually picked up with receding tide… In my opinion, even if they were hauling monster fish one after another, in that weather, it could hardly be called fishing…
