Report: not much to report cast out, rig washed in, got 3 non counters before i put on a 7oz grip and blasted it out, got a nice flounder after 3 hours, then the weather got worse, even worse than before got the second flounder about an hour before the end

Really wished i had of been able to go to meet up, but got a bad chest infection at moment.
Any bass caught?

Was an atrocious day. Was ok at the start when the wind was behind us but it switched to the west made the fishing very uncomfortable. Had 6 or 7 undersized turbot and flounder and a lovely flounder of 35 which was beaten by 1cm for the longest fish pool. Also dropped a good flounder of about 28/29 went to lift it and a wave came in a washed it away. Nice turnout considering the weather was so bad.

fair play to yous guys for braving the elements, i was intending to take a run down myself.
but on the back road to muff a bloody big branch blew off and landed across my windscreen had to head back home minus one wiper

nice one MC and fair play to all those who made it and stuck it out. it was a horrendous forecast alright but at least you got a few and the sea trout was a bit of a bonus . i hope the car was'nt badly damaged don
