Hayling Island – Langstone Side

I went to Hayling and parked in the car park next to the Langstone entrance. I walked along towards the front of the beach and set up near the entrance to the harbor due to too many people being around.

I stayed here for a couple of hours and then after pulling in tonnes of weed, i packed up to move to the beach front.

I knew there was a gulley running close to the beach but couldnt remember exactly where it was, so after figuring out where the deper water was by the waves I set up again and cast.

I was here for about an hour or so and eventually saw a few knocks on my rod. I stood up ready to stirke and when it tapped again, I did strike, and the tapping continued. I reeled in and they wasn’t much drag on the line so it came in quickly. And this is what I found on the end of the line:

I am not sure what type of eel this.

After this nothing else came along and so I packed up about 8:30PM.
