Rigs:pennells clipped, portsmouth loops, long 3 hook flappers
Results:3 ray to 4lbs,1 dog,3 dab to 28cm, 1 red gurnard 30cm,7 coalies, 20 whiting and 3 shore rockling
Report:Started off at the strand an hour or so before low water, but we would have preferred to have been there earlier. John was first off the mark with a ray and i followed soon with one of my own which took about 7 minutes to land, i thought i was into a double figure!. after this i managed a double of a dog and dab and a few more fish while john picked up a good few whiting. I also picked up a nice gurnard which i was well pleased with!! At about half four the strand fishing began to slow down so after a short car trip we arrived at another beach mark a couple of miles west. I fished close in here(about 4 yards into the surf) for the smaller fish and had numerous trebles of coalies,whiting,rockling and dab. John tried out further for a bigger whiting or dab but all was quiet at range maybe its still a bit early for the big fish. packed up at the point after about 2 hours as the cold was begining to get the better of us and headed home. good days fishing and nice to get out after all the recent exams...
