People:

Myself

Duration:

Afternoon and Evening

Tide:

Very high tide around 8ush

Weather:

Sunny and calm.

Bait:

Lugworm, lures, bread

Results:

About 15 mackerel, 6 fingerling pollock, about 12 mullet.

Catch and Release::

All but about 6 mackerel

Report:

Fished Silver Strand for a while at low water, took about two casts and didn't get a touch.
Headed back to Spanish arch and fished for a while for mullet, catching a few on swimfeedered bread flake, nothing of any size, best perhaps 4 lb.
Then spun and feathered the end of the pier for mackerel (among a crowd of hundreds), catching one eventually, and then used him as strips to catch the remainder.

Brilliant site seeing all the sprat along the wall of the pier being hammered by mackerel, was like a wildlife film !

Just went there for the 'scenery'....!
Didn't want to go walking too far and the place was thick with swimmers so just took a couple of casts to the right of the carpark...
