Report: we had intended to head up the coast for a bit of flattie bashing and to try our summer huss mark. so from 3pm to 6pm we sat eagerly waiting for the huss or dogs to take the mullet, mack and squid cocktails we were launching out at them. dan's mate is a keen pike angler and gave us a packet of 4 wee vietnamese mullet out of his freezer as i've had good sucess with them here in the past. but it must still be early for them here as i was the only one to get a knock in the 3 hours we were there
. and sadly that ended in a lost fish and hook length 
. so we decided to hit the chinese in carnlough for a snack box each and plan the rest of the evening out 
. before too long we were set up on the beach waiting for darkness to arrive and the bites to begin. as expected we got diddly squat while the sun was out, but as soon as we lost the light the rod tips were all twitching away . there was a good mix of fish coming in and dan even managed the smallest sand eel i've ever seen hooked in the chops fair and square 
it was no bigger than the hook it was attached to 
. then another angler came over for a chat and introduced himself. it turned out to be crazyfish from the site . great to meet up with some more lads form SAI and put names to faces 
. he was out with 2 of his mates and got set up to our left but did'nt fair as well as we seemed to do. we were out of bait by 11.30pm and decided to wrap it up. there was plenty caught, even thow it was all small stuff. but with the blanking we've been doing lately it was just good to get out and see a fish again . dan even managed 3 plaice which was handy as we were getting a few spotty orange flounder at the same time. it was good to be able to put them side by side so you could see the differences in them . like i said, nothing of any great size, but plenty to keep us happy 
i'll add a load of pics so you can play "spot the spotty difference"
