Sweet nice to find a new mark that produces the goods should be a few fish in at the railing mark now i'd say..... was out that way recently but not fishing saw a few nice rays a 8/9lb huss discarded along with large edible crabs and a few pollack left to rot in tangle nets just makes no sense was very surprised with the big edible crabs you'd think they'd have a market for them if they're targeting spider crabs...
