beach facing the east coast of america 12/02/2011

lmeself and tex(terry) planned a dawn break session on mayo"s westy coast.so met terry at a point at 04.30am.we headed to our mark very confident.had a small bit of trouble finding it with the dark.we both set up at the vans and could hear smashing and pounding surf.it was so calm on the land but mental at sea.no much to say really.we used flappers.gripleads and had macks,lugs,sandeels,squid with us..,there was also weed about but not as much as other venues

stayed till 8am

result blank blank blank im pretty convinced that the surf here was too mad to catch anythingnow i know a gud surf is nice but this was mental.

lost 4 rigs and broke me tripod.think terry lost 2 rigs aswell;just glad all sessions areent like this
however we shall make up 4 it

Hi Brian, bought mine for around 60yoyos but you can get much cheaper online, it does fold right down and the cups and holders clip out, very sturdy stand and will work on beach, pier and rock marks
