Report: At christmas time I bought a Penn rod from zeke and finally tonight I caught fish with it , having previously had it out 5 times only for the other rod to produce
I hadnt got a chance to dig any bait so mick kindly mentioned he had enough to share , now I'm wondering does that offer stand for the rest of the year Arrived at the pier and straight away started catching , shore rockling , some of them quite fat, must be feeding on something(unfortunately there didnt seem to be anything feeding on them ) Also landed 2 dab either side of 20cm and mick had 2 flounder of similar size. my last cast produced a starFISH, sure it has to count as a species, its name even identifies it as a species

unfortunatley star "fish" dont count, i reckon they should tho
i had a comp a few weeks ago and managed 3 of them and nothin else, i had to hand back a blank card

at least ye were kept busy with the rocklings, crackin pic too of the fella with the barbs out.
