Report:I spent the day thinking about the spot I seen yesterday so decided to go and have a look to see what it was like on low water,plenty of depth even at low,set up 1 rod with sand eel and cast out and even before i had the rod on the stand I got a bite and landed a doggie

Hi Gerry,
Great haul of fish, signs of a good summer's fishing ahead hopefully

Am I correct in thinking this spot has open ocean in casting distance?

hi Blackie,hopefully it will be a good summer,so far the year has been better to me then the last few years,the open ocean is a bit of a distance away but the water is deep at the mark

hi al great scrap from him,as soon as i got the bite i knew it was not a mackerel or pollack knew it was some thing new,hope you will get one soon
