Duration: 8-11pm
Tide: hw and dropping
Weather: windy
Bait: whites, lug, mac, sandeel, razor, squid
Rigs:3 hook flap, pulley
Results: 3 rockling 1 coalie
Report: arrived at the beach to see weed situation and nearly fell into the sea!
the relatively calm seas here normally were producing some nice tables of surf as the dunes sheltered me from the wind. however the sea had gouged away about 3ft depth of the beach and it was a sheer drop into the suds
set up on top of the ledge and cast away in front - not much weed but needed 3 oz other wise it was thrown up on the beach, out farther it was grand with nothing touching mac or sandeel
then the rockling showed up enjoying the whites - as tide began to drop - some bits of weed showed
got a coalie late 20s on lug banged out
nothing more at distance bar weed - stringy stuff sinking the line and then the odd lump of stalking kelp testing the reel!
a few more rockling showed in front and the tide really began to race away
the sea was absolutely boiling off the breakwater at the end of the pier to my right - there was crazy currents kicking all directions
had enough weed hauling so packed it in after 3 hours - a few fish, no rain, out of the wind couldnt complain
good to blow the cobwebs off the gear and get some fresh air ,keeps u sane!
