Results:me 27 whiting, 1 pouting, 1 small bullhead, gino, 19whiting , 3 dabs, 1 flounder.

Report:we met up with rocker and martin two other lads from the wbsac. rocker will probably put on his own report. i caught the bull head on my first cast , i hadnt a clue what it was rocker told me it was a bullhead so thats that. it was small but it was green. took a pic on my phone as i forgot my camera so if i can post it i will. it was quiet enough the first few hours but then the whiting came thick and fast happy with the pouting and the bullhead two more for my species list. gino done good and i know rocker and martin were catching too , rocker had a nie coalie.

howya pete when i say quiet we were catching but not like other times we fished there the whiting were slow enough at first maybe the tide early on wasnt great, but they were in close and out far . i know its a good beach in the summer my mate had a 5 pound bass on it last year and i had two massive bites on makerel heads in close in the same nite. so the bass were hunting in close that nite. its a good beach always throws up something :lol: :lol:
