Report:

Meet up with Jamie for a few casts yesterday & we were blessed with the good weather rain, rain & more f......g rain.
We headed to a rock mark first for a look but decided to try the nearby beach for a cast where some clown plunged his car into a four foot deep drain beside the car park.
Got set up & Jamie was first of the mark with a Doggie, we only fished for a while as the rain was pouring down on us & a fairly strong breeze blowing so we packed up & made our way to another sheltered rock mark a few miles away & try For Wrasse & Pollock.

Arrived at the mark & got the gear ready & headed to the rocks. There was some heavy rain falling & the nearby laneway had turned into a small river with mini waterfalls coming down the cliff faces
Started off with some Wrasse fishing but it was very slow going I picked up a few but that was it so plan b was to head over to another mark that usually throws up some good fish.
Packed up the rods & walked over to next spot but with all the floods flowing into the sea seem to put the Wrasse of feeding I picked up another few Wrasse before we tried spinning but swells were forming with the filling tide & can only fish this mark for a couple of hours on the flood tide, Jamie picked up a Coalie & my reel packed in so headed back to car to change it & try another rock mark which I got a Specimen Mackerel last week.
Made our way over & started spinning I first of the mark with a Pollock followed by a bigger one then Jamie got one but the swells were getting to doggy so called it a day, we got a few fish in bad conditions & a good soaking !!!!!!!!!!

Well done guys, a good session in bad weather. It's great to see that your dedication of staying out in the rain paid off. You's managed to catch a few nice fish (the pollock are excellent) despite the elements being against you's. Well done for sticking at it, you have to sometimes or you'd never be out fishing with the weather in this country the way it is. Great report and pictures as always Brian, nice one mate.
