After 40 years of sea trout fishing I caught my earliest ever sea trout on Tuesday 13 May. I was plugging for bass in the Menai Straits when I hooked a lovely 4lb sea trout at dusk. Great fight on a light 8' rod, jumped out the water a couple of times and generally fought well on the surface. Followed by a 1.5lb bass for me while another angler had a 6lb bass. It's not fly fishing Jim, but it's darn good fun. My earliest sea trout before this was probably first week of June.

I fished the Lower Eden yesterday morning and the best that I could muster was some sunburn. I fished the Upper Eden yesterday evening and the best that could muster was insect bites. A veritable glutton for punishment I dropped onto the Lune on the way home and stayed till 2.30am this morning. Alas I did not sight or hear a single fish. I did encounter a suicidal brown trout of about 1-1/2lbs that when hooked made a bolt directly for my left wading boot. It was however absolutely fantastic to be out on a warm night. I don't wish to sound all a bit soppy but a day or a nights fishing is as magical today as the very first time I even went out and tried it. This morning in work however I feel like the living dead www.silversalmon.co.uk

Yes I can relate and sympathise with your last sentence Spatey, been there many times after sea trout fishing.
Thought I'd got over the night fishing bug to be honest - until I discovered bass fishing is a lot more productive in the dark! Only reason I took up the bass fishing in the first place was for something to do in fine weather when the rivers were too low for daytime salmon fishing!

Well done John, good fish. Not made it out yet myself for night fishing. I should do mind, other members are picking away....
