Nice one with the Turbot. Waterfoot Pier is quite an exposed mark, if the wind picks up too much you should move to the beach chum.

cheers Rab. I must try the beach sometime. The pier is just handy for the car when the rains about. Is the beach best close to the river or at the other end?

I think the whole way along the beach fishes well but I would normally fish close to the river.

Unlucky with the weather. At least you saved a blank and added a new species so it wsnt a total loss.
