Report:
As the time arrived for us to go fishing, the weather rapidly went downhill, but as it was expected we decided to go to the mark anyway. We arrived to find a driving Southery howling and persistant rain.
But on to the fishing.
We got baits into the water and within 5 minutes Bingham had the first Codling on the deck. Nothing big, and it was quickly followed by another 2. Meanwhile I was finding things tough and finally managed a Codling myself.
Next fish for me was a Ballan Wrasse! Which I was really looking foreword to getting my first of for the year! Result! After a few more Codling and the light starting to go a few Coalfish started to show, most of which were in and around the 25cm mark. Then a nice wee surpise for me as I managed another one to tick off the list for the year, a goldsinney! Bonus!
While this was happening Bingham managed a 31cm Codling which snaffled a nice juicy lug bait.
After this the tide started picking up, and weed became a bit of a problem, the fish became more sparse and we decided to pack up and go home when the rain got heavier.
All in all a good night in harsh conditions, certainly worth the effort.
