People:Me.

Duration:4:30-7:00.

Tide:1 hour flood, the rest ebb.

Weather:glorious.

Bait:mackerel.

Rigs:2 hook flappers.

Results:2 flounder.

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report:well i hadn't intended to go fishing today but the mood just struck me to go fishing so off i went and completely forgot that this mark only really fishes at a certain stage of the tide.....a stage that i only caught the last half hour of :? :( . caught the fish in the first 20 Min's and then not a sausage the rest of the time. However, when i moved to the main beach i put my tripod about 14' back from the water and had my rod tips low. then some eejit and his son ducked under the lines(everyone else was going around) and then proceeded to show his son how to throw stones right in between the gap from my tripod to the water. i went home :evil: :evil: .

i always tell you where to go... you just dont listen half the time..
but that aside me not telling you where to fish was my way of saying go check out places your self, dont ask everyone all the time where to fish.. this way you will learn to read the weather and the seasons and how places fish during such times...

Neilus.. let me know when you will be up.. i'll try figure out where will be best to fish depending on the weather...
