Report:After a nice drive to the North coast we were welcomed by warm clear weather and good building surf. The fish were also there from the start with a double shot of flats for me and Ben but this was short lived as not much showed for the next 4 hours. Things slowly picked about half an hour after the sun dropped with the small coalfish moving up the beach. During the last hour there was the occasional shout of a large fish landed but unfortunately (as they don’t count) these turned out to be Sea Trout up to 2lb. Still, it was a good turnout and an enjoyable nights fishing.
Ps: the dates on the photos are, I have not set the camera yet.

It is an original Ian Golds “one off”, well he made about 50 but I still have not seen another like it. I got it about 15 years ago in Dover. Sorry; don’t think he will get one now. Ps; you will not miss me on the beachBigPhil wrote:nice going, just when i see the gold tripod, where did you pick it up?, a club member was asking me about them the other week.
