Report:the brother in law rang to see had I a safe mark to fish as he wanted to bring the son fishing for the first time so I said I would take them to my ray mark,before they arrived i headed for a beach I was told about that had good lug and white rag,got plenty of both in a short length of time,thanks for telling me about the beach mark you were right about it
we fished my ray mark for 3 hrs and not a bite,they called it a day and I headed for a beach for awhile,no bites there as well so i hit a pier and tried for a few mackerel but none about
i set up the rods with a bit of bait it was very quite until I landed this lad
