20th section and below the Bibi-Heybat mosque (Caspian)

First we went to the 20th section, by the factory. It was 10 in the morning. The fishermen said there had been kutum in the morning, but they'd gone. We sat for a while. We fished with shrimp and bread. On a bottom rig. Only gobies were biting. An hour later we drove over to a spot near the Bibi-Heybat mosque (not far from Shikhovo). There were lots of people there and everyone was spinning. They said the fish don't come closer than 50 m to the shore. But very few people were actually catching. Only now and then did someone pull out a kutum. I hadn't brought a spinning rod that day. I tried the bottom rig until one o'clock. Maybe the water was still cold or it was still too early - the shemaya and gobies weren't biting either. Next to me there was a guy with a spinning rod. 5 minutes before leaving he pulled out 2 kutum at once, 400-450 g each. I packed everything up and went home. You could call the fishing a failure, though I had a nice rest.
