Report:


Headed to our winter thornie mark and started of with a great thumping take on the first cast, caught the rod butt as the top section hit the water and after a good fight on a light rod landed my best this year yet at 7.5lb. Then nothing for about 2.5hrs so headed round to another deep water mark roving over the rocks for a few hours with the spinning rod and managed 4 coalfish between 30-40cm. Stopped for dinner at local resturant (sirloin steak, pepper sauce and champ to celebrate my thornie ) Then joined mick at the beach, he managed a flounder and I only conected with a doggie after missing a distinctive rattle
