results- me- 2 rockling (2 species- shore and 3 bearded rockling and 2 crabs, john- 1 bird and 4 crabs

started on the peir, 3rd cast i got a shore rockling, got loads of crabs here too. i was surprized to get a fish so early on, john got a couple of crabs here.

about 3 oclock we headed on to the beech, missed a load of bites, john got his bird which flew away "quite happily" i got a another little 3 bearded rockling further along the beech around a wee patch of rocks, still better than a blank.

Fair play Dan . I once had a rockling swallow a 5/0 hook whole with crab on in they are greedy feckers .

agreed. mine were on 1/0 and 2/0s had them swallowed.

Weol done Dan,, rough enough day on Sunday, nice to catch a few in daylight this time of year

3rd ever winter day caught fish. wasnt expecting much but still a breathe of relief when i got the first.
pity bout john who only caught a load of shore crabs and some type of bird.
hopefully get back down this week again some evening.

havnt had that many rockling around millisle so it wasnt bad to get a couple in a session. i think i had 2 or 3 before this session.
