Its fair to say that they're a bit on the small side.
Its a good sign though.
We went up to Waterfoot Beach today. Daniel blanked and I got a tiny flounder. We moved to the pier for an hour later. One guy had a nicer plaice and a 2lb seatrout of ledgered sandeel.

It was very bright when we were on the beach. TBH I didn't expect to catch much but I kept that quiet so as not to let the wee man down!
We'll enough rag left for another session. I'm thinking either D'dee tomorrow night or Bangor for amini species hunt.
