Hi Bill,

Know exactly what you mean about being too nice for serious fishing, felt exactly the same on Saturday when I was up there. I only got one Flounder for my trouble but was not bothered. Packed up just at a nice time too, started to pour down as i was walking off beach!

As for that horrible, hateful pier at Waterfoot - I pretty much refuse to fish it during the summer ( ducking weights gets tiresome )! Not a bad spot in winter though.

Hopefully see you in Whitehead on Tuesday.

tends to fish better after dark, tho plaice can be picked up at distance during daylight plus flounder on scratching rigs in close
