People:me and 3 others
Duration:from 10pm until3.30am, the others stayed on for a while
Tide:dropping
Weather:windy and wet
Bait:everything in freezer
Rigs:size 1 clipped up(2hooks) and 3/0 pulleys
Results:got two small coalies, both took blacklug and mackerel
Report:not much to say, after the busy Christmas with work and family I was bursting to get out, got in touch with a mate and a date was set, well the day the wives said we could go. Anyhow we met up at the chosen venue but the wind was blowing a gale so my and his two friends suddjested a sheltered Mark further around the coast. So back in the motors and it was follow the leader time. When we got to the venue it had changed a bit since I was last there a few years ago, some shingle had gone nd the gulley was further out. With a dropping tide we set up with little hope but happy to be out fishing, few casts later someone landed a small codling, quiet after that until I got a wee coalie on a bit of black lug tipped with mackerel. We just fed the crabs after that so put on 3/0 penell rigs and blasted big baits out far, the result was a another coalie, just a cm bigger on a fillet of mackerel. Weed became a big problem after that so I packed up and then the mate landed a transparent whiteing. Left them to it but the tide was pushing the weed their way. They arrived back at the carpark as I was driving out, would have taken a photo but my phone wasn't waterproof, it was raining a lot but at least the wind didn't affect us too much. It was good to get out and I am already planning my next trip, fpo permission of course
