then the bait rods went quite so i set up one rod with a conger trace and dropped it down the edge but it was untouched for the night
set up the other rod with feathers and caught 12 pollack and 2 of the biggest mackerel i have caught this year

the mackerel i caught with the 2 pollack put up a great fight,he towed the 2 pollack around like 2 skiers on the back of a boat :lol:
i also was told about two good marks,one for mullet so will have to have a go for a mullet soon
