Report: went to the head of the pier for some fishing after dark had loads of small fish about caught a pouting on the first cast so no blank. :D while the baited rod was out tried spinning. while baiting up my fishing partner tried my spinning rod and hooked and lost a mackerel (what a noob!) so we both switched from spinning to floats baited with mackerel consistent action on the mackerel and pollock until about 10

pleasant nights fishing. got some mackerel in the freezer :)

caught my first fish on the (baited) fly had small pollock chasing a popper red and white. lost another fish on the fly as I tried to play it too much. good to finally get some action on a fly rod.
