Report:

Had the evening free so decided to head to a rock mark that has been fishing well recently.

Stopped of at mick in fanore to pick up some frozen sandeel and a few bits and bobs,then off we went to the mark ..... had never fished the mark before but found what we were looking for after a 10 -15min walk :)

Set up and baited the first rig with a nice big sandeel clipped it down and off it went :) wasnt sure how far out the sand was as one person said 70yrds and another said 165yrds :shock: was probably hitting between 80-100yrds all night and didnt lose one rig :D

First cast produced a good sized doggie, this continued on for the next few cast with dog after dog after dog the bottom must have been full with them only had to wait 5 mins before the rod started nodding away :lol:

Inbetween the dogs got a nice rattle and brought in a small ray(not sure what species)hopefully someone can identify it :)

A few dogfish later got a nice sharp pull down on the rod tip which resulted in a nice pollack around 3 1/2lbs

after that a few more dogs followed until the midgies got too much for dad so we packed up :roll:
will have to bring the mosquito repelant next time :lol:

all in all an enjoyable night to be out with plenty of fish :D all fish were returned alive :)

few photos :
