Report:

Ya! I should have bothered looking out the window more before going to D'dee, it was simply unfishable, a very strong Northerly blowing in, the water was sand coloured, i was using very light tackle as i planned to dangle about a bit :wink: In the end i gave up even trying to put the bloody line through the rod eyes, the wind just stripped the reel and got me into umteen tangles, it was obvious my tackle simply wasn't going to work in any way today..

Took some photo's with my phone but in no way do they do it justice.
