Report:We arrived at the beach at 7pm,no one else there surprisingly
. We decided to set up the shelters as there were some very black clouds above us and this turned out to be a good move. We were both fishing 2 rods each with 2 and 3 hook flappers. Neil also tried the pulley rig at distance .It was a very mild night as later on we agreed that we could pack the floatie suits away till next winter,,,,,,,,,,I was steaming like a carthorse when I arrived back at the car later it was so mild.Neil was first off the mark with a couple of daylight fish,codling and flounder ,and he was soon pulling way ahead of me(again
). He had been showing off his rods and reels again to a passerby and the guy had told me as he was looking at my newly aquired mid range stuff that many a good fish was caught on cheap gear,,,,,,,,,that made me feel really good 
.I was still confident at that early stage that I would catch up,,,,,,,but sadly for me it was not to be as he pulled in a steady stream of dabs,flounder ,codling and even a coalie . Then to add insult to injury, he calls me over to show me a small bass 
.I plugged away and finally broke my duck with a nice wee codling,,halleliujah .This was followed by a small bass of my own and this bass made my trip worthwhile.Quick pic and back he went to be followed by a whiting and then later on another slightly bigger (small 
)bass. I'm not calling them schoolies,as far as i'm concerned a bass is a bass is a bass .Fishface caught another bass and i started to pack my gear away while it was 2 bass each but of course you know where this is going and youre right ,,,,,,,,,,,he landed another just as we finished up
.I'm glad for him ,really i am,,,,,,,,,,,,if I keep saying it to myself i might believe it. Anyways a good Sunday evenings fishing borne out by the fact that we had no bait leftover,,,besides at least i caught the biggest bass ps,,,,,,,,forgot to mention that plain rag worked better than rag tipped off with mack or squid
same thinking as myself Dave, a bass is a bass no mater what size it is 
well done guy's
