Tide:low 12:41 0.8m high 18:59 5.1m

Weather:gales and rain

Bait:sand eel mackerel crab feathers

Rigs:various

Results:3 dog fish,1 three bearded rockling,1 pollack




Report:with a nagging wife and no internet connection at home decided it was time for the pub or fishing,the fishing won
headed to a sheltered pebble beach as it was blowing a gale and raining heavy.had the wind at my back and a cliff as well so the fishing was nice,it was nice and calm and easy to see the rod tips moving,had the 3 dog fish first then moved a bit further along the beach toward rough ground and got the three bearded rockling there the fishing went quite for awhile and just before packing up had a 2lb pollack on sand eel
i seem to catch more when i leave the good camera at home,photos from the phone so not very good
