Report:
a bit of a marathon session, had planned to fish this mark at night and with the weather conditions perfect i thought i'd make a day of it. was not overly confident of success when i arrived because of the bright s
unshine and crystal clear water.first cast resulted in a surprisingly good bite (surprising because i actually got a bite rather than the size of the actual bite) i struck and had a nice strap on the rocks. things were looking up i thought but this was to be a false start as bites were few and far between with only another small strap and a dog keeping me busy, oh and 2 1 lb pollack which took a fancy to half a mack on a 6/0 pennell!!

as darkness fell the fishing picked up with alot more fish activity, i had about a dozen bites in the last 3 hours but only connected with 2 of them, one a huss of 2 lbs and the other a small dog. frustrating not to get any more sizable huss but i guess with the poor tide and moonlight it put the fish down.
