Shot down to my fav spot after work to get there for the full spring tide at 3pm ,1 by 14 L/F Shockwave with Fin Nor 30 and 1 by 12ft Elbe wave runner with Shimmi 15/30.

Get to the spot to realise I only have one rod spike,never mind ,water looking good ,14ft out with a lekker chokka prawn mix,rod in spike,bait up 12ft with bit of craytail and chokka ,toss that out and wait

10min later I look up ,14ft rod is almost parralell to ground and spike is ready for lift off,grab 14 ft with left hand jam 12ft into spike and try to get it stuck back into sand,wait 15min with 14ft in hand ,fish has gone,now the fun starts,12ft starts dipping nicely in spike,grab 12 ft with right ,no left,no right hand ,try and get 14ft back into spike with le..no right, no left hand,by this time fish has cleaned off the craytail.

Reel in both rods, hooks cleaned off nicely,but dumbass here is a slow learner so out goes 14ft with chokka bait ,in spike,bait up 12ft with some more cray,10 min in 12 ft starts bouncing in my hand,at same time 14ft starts bending like a bow,S...same procedure as above,but alas fishies have cleaned of bait and moved on.

Dumbass has learned a lesson ,put the one rod away ,but after a hour and no more bites ,with seaweed moving in I leave with tail between the legs, Mouldie 0 fishies 3

Note to self.Use one rod or remember the sand spikes

Wow. So you ALMOST had it all. It still beats not getting any bites.

It happens sometimes. Not all the time.

Just a question.

Do you think you would have hooked the fish if you had two pension pipes?

What I like to do is place my second spike close to the spike with the big rod in,while holding the 12ft with the smaller bait this way I can drop the 12ft into the empty spike quickly and grab the 14ft when i see a bite,trying to pull one rod out of a spike with one hand and putting the other one in spells disaster

This where circle hooks come in handy, clean hook but lodged at the corner of the fish's mouth without striking
