we got too our first mark, we wernt expecting much cause of the strong winds and rain but we were very suprised in wat we caught. the coallies started biting first to rag and makerel cocktails then i got a few dab and the brother was into a few coallies aswell. i decided to change rig and bait then i got a hit it was a plaice 1 of my target speicies this year but i never got 1 till now. it was small but still enjoyed catching 1. the doggie came to a mackerel flapper i think it was the biggest dog ive ever caught first i thought it was a huss but then i checked a nd it was indeed a lsd. great night fishing with my new rod IT TOOK ME A WHILE TOO GET USED TO IT BUT ONCE I DID IT CAST LIKE A DREAM.

Thanks The new rod is excellent nicki. Plenty of oomph with it. Its that new nano tech its very light but has the same strengh as a normal rod. It was designed by sea angler magazines AlanYates, so its a very good rod. It was the same price range as the sonik sk4, id a bit of trouble deciding which 1 to go for but i think i made the right choice.
