People: myself and stevecrow
Duration:about 17:30 till 23:30
Tide: high 19:00ish
Weather: predominantly easterly - swithched occasionally to SE to S to SW and then back east again
one serious piece of rain for about 30mins about HT and that was it - wind picked up for a bit after - but then eased off for last 2-3 hours again
cloud cover was patchy with some very clear skies
Bait: frozen sandeel, mack, herring, mussel
Rigs: i was 3 hook flapper and pulley - steve 1 up 1 down i think
Results: 2 coalfish
Catch and Release:: Yes
Report:
one each - no size to them - mine was obviously bigger :D. steves fell to mack, mine came to the herring
steve had a couple of large bites on sandeel but no hook ups - had a decent one on and lost at the rocks at the very end
think he may have had another 1-2 small ones in the same way
i had a small flattie on that got off the hook once i got out of the water at the rocks
had a serious hook up aswell - darting all over the place and then stopped - got steve excited aswell - turned out to be a momentous ball of weed in the end :lol:
there was definitely something big on - im telling you
the weed was fairly bad becoming involved most casts - had a good play on a huge amount of plastic aswell
overall good to get out on a relatively nice night and avoid a blank :wink:
