dd
Rigs:two hook flappers and pulley

Results:me-12 pollock,1 plaice, 1doggie 2 codling and 2 small bass--
banksy 9 pollock 1 flounder 1 doggie




Report:
headed for Waterfoot beach as heard it was fishing well, set up just behind the square house
with one rod each. first fish landed within minutes(small pollack) and it stayed like this for the
whole night. getting good hard bites as soon as the bait hit the sea bed. none of the fish were
of any great size but the fact that it was a fish a cast was something else, the bass would'nt
have fed a midget (no offence to any midgets on here) but the fact is i caught 2 of them on
Waterfoot beach( my first bass ever ).Ran out of bait shortly after midnight so headed home
with a smile that will last all weekend. All fish returned alive and well
some times catching crabs is a good thing.........or is it...........?

Nice one!! Sounds like a good night. Especially with the 2 bass even if they were on the small side nice to know they are around.
