yea Liam i have fished the breakwater tons of times but last night really was something Elise like 9 doggy's in five hours great nights fishing. i love doggy fishing anyway there hardy little fish and they can give you a good fight. what me and Liam do is put them in the bay were the boats are when we catch them that way they can find there own way out to the sea and give them time to recover. we did that with all fish that we caught last night and the lobster that is one spot that i would like to fish again some time maybe with the tide rising. with out a doubt the best nights fishing i have had all year for the simple fact that we didn't get any the first 2 hours that we were there well Liam got a Collie but as soon as it was dark BANG they were hooked. and the mackerel was like gold dust to the doggy's we had some on squid but the rag with a tippet of mackerel worked a treat

:twisted: doggy heaven :twisted:

That's a hell of lobster ya got there! Something i've always wanted to taste actually, hopefully will someday without having to buy one! Think it's just a matter of boiling it for a half hour or so although maybe not ones that big :shock:

Dead easy to cook ghost.

3-5 mins in a pot of boiling salted water. Once it turns pink it is ready to eat.

A 5lb lobster would have provided a real good feed for 2 people.

If it is still up there, I think I'll take a wee run up this week :idea:
