Not much to report

Baits kept being stripped by crabs (I caught one as proof!)

More boat activity than usual in and out of the harbour didnt help I suppose

Hard luck on the blank.

Did you have much "company". I see that the Spectator Newspaper carried a letter about anti-social behaviour on the pier.

Cheers lads. To be honest I wasn't really expecting to catch much given the time of day, but with 4 young kids in the house I have to take every fishing opportunity that I can!
