aye but just the one, this pier usually throws up a good few along with some good plaice, but it was way to rough. most of the time we didn't know if we were getting bites or if it was the wind, for the rods were blowing about to much, dont mind the rain but jes; i hate strong wind's :twisted:

it can blow the head off you sometimes on that pier, but depending on the wind direction it can be sheltered when other areas are blowing a gale, but i cant remember which direction, its not in my fishing journal, so i guess i just have to fish it more and work it out again, nice flattie mate
