Report:
Didn't get round to posting my first report from last week, so I've decided to merge the two reports into one as they are roughly the same.

First Sunday we got down around 4pm, set up at the left side of the pier and within the hour were getting bites every other cast. Sea was as calm as I've ever seen it.
Second Sunday was roughly the same, turned up a bit earlier as the high tide was earlier in the day, as soon as dark hit we were having regular bites each cast, the codling were coming in every few casts or so.
Both sessions were successful and we came home happy.
Keeping this report brief as I have been busy.
Tight Lines.

Good to see your outing was not with out fish. That spot is well fished and can produce the odd good fish, it's a handy spot for jumping into the car. Try the beach as some good fish can turn up
