Arrived around 2 and headed to the ray mark, anchor down flowing traces down for a haddock on size 2,s and Sean using ray traces.

I must say I had high hopes of hitting a Haddock and moved 3 times to different marks where I had them before but no luck, maybe left it to late for that area
With wind again tide and a long trip back in we moved to my we wrasse spot where we hit plenty of ballans and a few double shots

With time getting on we loaded Basshunter onto the trailor and headed home for a good rest,
