So after yesterday’s misfortune of losing half a rod, I managed to buy a new one and visit the same mark today.
Had a 4/5lb pollack up on the rocks, but it spat out the hook as the next swell came in!
Shortly after I managed to land a 2lb pollack so thankfully today, all was not lost!
I did however lose 1 rig, but also found the rig I lost yesterday, when the top half of my rod decided to take a dip.
It was a short session today, but not as short as yesterday’s and far more enjoyable!

It's good to hear you had better luck today! Pity about the big one getting away!
