Report: We had some bait left over from the weekend so decided to head up the coast for a couple of hours to use it up.

Must have picked one of the worst evenings this week. The wind was approaching gale force and rain was forcast ( and it arrived on schedule ).

There were 4 guys packing up when we arrived at the pier and they said that they had a couple of dogs and some pollock.

We set our gear up and whacked the baits out.

Had nothing at all for the first couple of hours. Jonny mucked a cast up and it almost landed at his feet. He started getting bites right away!

We put the next lot of baits just out in front of us and thats where all the fish came from. All were around the 30cm mark and were a bit of crack. Got a couple of almighty rattles too that may mean there are some good fish knocking around.

well done fella, i seem to get tortured with the doggies
as soon as it gets dark when i fish there. had a good
few big rattles on the rod last week, think maybe huss.

Cheers mate. The conditions made it really difficult but still better than sitting in the house! Did think i was looking a blank in the face for a while tho

Fair play for braving our lovely weather at the minute. At least you were rewarded with a few fish.
