People:myself and my dad

Duration:3 to 7

Tide:dropping rising

Weather:ok

Bait:frozen mac

Rigs:tope rigs

Results:tope dogs

Report:had been promising my dad id bring him out for ages to get his first tope, so we decided to give the annual trip a go,,, got to the mark and dropped down with the frozen bait ( never again will i) dog after dog after dog destroyed the bait on us an in no time we were running out :cry:
it was so bad my dad reeled in 3 dogs on a one hook rig :shock:

eventually a tope struck, and it was hillarious watching my dad struggle away but was also delighted to see him finally get in,,,
5 to 10 mins later and the tope was landed,,, and my poor dad had enough after the struggle with that guy,
we went home happy,
was nice to be beaten by him to as i got no tope

also seen this guy ( i presume it is a tope just patrolling the area)
