Me and Mike
Bait : Frozen lug, mackerel and Squid - All were successful, cocktails and on their own!
Results: Me : 2 LSD, Small whitiing; Mike : 4 LSD, Dab, bigger whiting, maybe 8 or so.
Westerly wind strong on occasions, blew over rod rest etc a few times, fairly hefty breakers but seemingly quiet enough further out.
Clear sky , quite pleasant really, after getting drenched at the very start (big wave!) it all settled down to decent fishing, regular activity all night despite the difficulty on seeing bites due to the wind.
We were both using a single gripper and 1 hook, well i had a pennel rig set up but Mike just one small hook.
Mike got catch of the night with two decent 1/2lb whiting on this one hook?? 1st one seemed to have slipped up onto the line and a second fish musta wanted to joint the party!, quite odd!
good night, first trip of the new year, hope to get out round and about next week too.
no pics sorry, camera batteries gone!!

Nice one, I was about to post this report myself! Good night overall but no sign of the Cod - maybe next week! Yep - that was a strange catch - 2 fish on the one hook!
