had a good few casts but no macks
after dark I set up the bait rods,one at distance and the other with a conger trace in close
the rod at distance was the first to produce,landed 2 dogs

then the conger rod got a knock and I landed a conger

headed to a beach near the pier,I was going to spend a hr or 2 on it but when I arrived the beach was covered with kelp,I never saw as much weed on a beach before,lorries of the stuff,I think a Trawler must have done a run near by
