People: me

Duration: 1 hour (10PM) plus 1 hour (10AM next morning)

Tide: Incoming just before HT

Weather: NW light wind, mostly cloudy

Bait: Cheap Tobies

Rigs:

Results: Pollack, Mackeral, Scad, Wrasse (total of around 15 fish, good mix)


Report:
After 3 days of wind and swell at last I got to this rock, by now the sea was gentle, I think this was the key.

I spun the toby as low as possible into kelp (~ 3 fathom), in between mackeral I was getting a bite every cast best fish was a 3lb pollack.

I had to get back the next morning, stuck with toby, had more of the same fun, then out of nowhere a fine wrasse took the toby in close, for me this is :shock: :shock: :shock:

The mark quietened down over the next few days, which made me guess that the good take was due to the first gentle weather coming after the stir.
