People: Moi

Duration: 3Hrs

Species: 3lb Pollack, 2lb Ballan Wrasse

Weather: Brisk Northerly

Method: Two hook flapper

Bait: Lug, Peeler

Comments: Extremely difficult conditions with a strong cross wind, as the bites were hard to detect they were snagging me up before I new what had happened. I lost about a dozen fish including a decent conger, I'll have to do a bit a work to my rigs to ensure I don't lose fish to the snags.

(lazy angler face)

I only got a few fresh peelers but they were hitting savagily each time the fish beat me to a snag, poor fishing on my behalf tbh.
