Report: Match 4 this year. It was manic from the start and it was soon realized that a quick change of rigs would be needed to standard 3 hook flappers and bigger hooks. Within 3 minutes of each cast the hook was either stripper bare or a fish was attached. Mostly coalfish showed to any cast within 50 meters, but better fish and more species showed at distance. Even with the chance of snow we were all kept warm and on our toes for the night. A good match for this time of year. Sorry, still no photos as there was nothing that great to get my fingers cold for.

Well done lads, you were certainly kept on your toes,baiting and changing rigs. Shame nothing of size turned up. Thanks for the bait but had no luck that night but caught a nice we plaice at distance the next morning. Well done to all.
