Report:Started off at the strand an hour or so before low water, but we would have preferred to have been there earlier. John was first off the mark with a ray and i followed soon with one of my own which took about 7 minutes to land, i thought i was into a double figure!. after this i managed a double of a dog and dab and a few more fish while john picked up a good few whiting. I also picked up a nice gurnard which i was well pleased with!! At about half four the strand fishing began to slow down so after a short car trip we arrived at another beach mark a couple of miles west. I fished close in here(about 4 yards into the surf) for the smaller fish and had numerous trebles of coalies,whiting,rockling and dab. John tried out further for a bigger whiting or dab but all was quiet at range maybe its still a bit early for the big fish. packed up at the point after about 2 hours as the cold was begining to get the better of us and headed home. good days fishing and nice to get out after all the recent exams...

great to still see some ray about sounded like a good trip
