People: myself and midge
Duration: 5.15 until 10.15
Tide: high at 8
Weather: showery and blustery at first then eased after an hour
Bait: fresh mack just off the boat, cheers kev! frozen lug mussel mack sandeel
Rigs: conger trace, 2,3 hook flappers, pully and freelining
Results: poor cod, pollack, whiting, 4 beard rockling, conger
Catch and Release:: Yes
Report: another impromptu session - omens were good when kev arrived in with a boatload of punters and gave us about 10 fresh mack
instantlly the pollack were on the freeline mack strip
then a bit further out - the whiting and poor cod were on the whole time until HT
i had hooked a decent edible crap but he slipped off 1 foot from the pier edge - gutted
then it quietened down after HT - banged it out with a ball of mussel and lug - to see if there were any codling about
then midget gets a rockling on the freeline mack
i had filletless mack out all the time - had one big bite but the fish just released - didnt get another bit of notice
midget had a nice conger 7-8lb an hour into the ebb
then another bite but no hook - and then another one about 5lb
good enough fun - but mind you i never recovered after my crab loss

Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!
