Tide:god knows
Weather:nice, light breaze
Bait:crab

Results:13 smoothounds
Report:went to this mark more in hope than anticipation and we both left very happy men.We got fish from the start the first one a nice starry for tony, come to think of it all our fish were starrys.Soon after i lifted into my first and i realised this would be a session to remember, We had rod hopping action for the next hour and a half with tony getting six and me getting seven.Bites were so frequent we both stopped using one of our rods each as we had to help each other land the fish.The fish ranged from about 3 to 5 or 6 pounds.A good session for a short amount of time.
