People:Me and the Bro

Duration:19.15 - 23.30

Tide: HT around 19.30

Weather: Moderate westerly with only one shower all night

Bait: Rag (more soup than solid :shock: ), mack and sandeel

Rigs: 3 Hook scratcher, 2 hook clip down, 2 hook pats and pulley at distance

Results: 1 dab, 1 flounder


Report:
It was a pleasant night weather wise - we could afford to keep out coats in the car but the westerly wind kept you on your toes. There was only one angler on the beach when we arrived but this soon multiplied to 14 anglers in a 500yd patch within an hour :shock: :shock: Pity the fish forgot to show :( :(

I landed both fish on rag on a 2 hook clip down - I decided to use a plain weight (to enable a better OTG cast) with this rig which meant it was being thrown around in the surf but it still landed both fish :shock: :shock:

We were hoping to see a bass at some stage during the proceedings but alas - no show.

We had a bit of a scare when leaving the beach when the car got stuck in the sand - I wasn't driving :lol: :lol: but to be fair the drifting sand made it very difficult to see the concrete :roll: :roll:
- BIG THANKS TO THE GUYS WHO HELPED US GET HER MOVING AGAIN, IF ANY OF YOU ARE READING THIS - THANK FECK FOR YOU BEING THERE OR WE WERE SNOOKERED :oops: :oops:

Roll on next weekend - I will have my college assignments finished and be able to get out twice a week again :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
