People: Myself and a mate
Duration: 09:00 - 21:30
Tide:High - Low - High
Weather: Broken cloud, Light WNW breeze & warm. Water condition clear to slightly coloured
Bait: Artificial
Rigs: Various surface and subsurface lures and flies
Results: 1 Bass 5lb, 1 Mackerel
Report: Spent the day exploring the coastline with the fly and spinning rods for likely looking spots. Mr Bass obliged in a perfect looking spot mid afternoon about 1/2 way through an ebbing tide to a silver Kilty lure in a foot or 2 of water over a mix of sand weed and boulder. Great scrap was well chuffed esp as I didn't have to travel to the other end of the country for it. We also saw 2 other fish one of which was a sim size in the same spot but they spooked and disappeared. Had a mackerel on the flyrod just before leaving this evening. Great days exploring with lots of new spots to try at diff stages of the tide. Look forward to getting back

Hi Kev,
The day was a mixture of driving to spots then walking/wading to get a good look around for likely looking areas. Absolutly knackered today mate, must have waded a few miles over mixed ground never mind the distance done on terra firma. All worth it when you get a Bass though :D
