Report:Got down there last night but was unfishable due to the high wind,the waves were 10/15 ft high and the wind was unreal,so we didn't actually start until 5 am this morning.Conditions had slightly improved by then so we headed for the rocks.Was hoping for some bass as there was a good surf going but nothing showed.Bites were far and few between and just when I was drifting off into a dream about a bass showing in the surf I got hit by an almighty bite ,I struck and the line peeled off the reel and the smoothie headed out to sea,great fight,best I've had in ages off a fish and made up in some way for the long session with few bites.

nice smoothie was it a common or starry ?

Was the same as the one on the beach in Padge's report,Common.Will be back down there for another go at them,he took the peeler btw.

Nice one Richie, lovely fish.
