Report: had a window to get out saturday and not expecting much arranged to meet jhcabs

nice calm sea - sun was out - first time fishing in a t shirt all year
nothing was looking at baits - jh turns up and shows me pic of a 7lb bass he caught the night before - happy days
fished on - the clouds came - jumper on - then jacket - first shower
noticed my flapper baits started to get stripped
jh spoke about leaving and then i pulled in a tiddler plaice - first of the year
jh packed up and left with high hopes for darkness - and he was right!

The Gurnard and Plaice seem to feed down there early evening,,had a few ourselves a couple of weeks ago.
An old angler/diver mate told me that gurnard swim with the Ray.
Still it's nice to get a few fish in the bright,,well done.
