People:me
Duration:3 hrs
Tide:2 hrs of the rise 1 of the fall
Weather:mild SW, dry
Bait:crab/razor
Rigs:2 hook flapper
Results:1 coalie, tope?
Report:Fished greystones today on the rocks to the right of the new pier. Had a nice coalie about a pound and a half, then all quiet, so moved to the small pier with the steps just down from the main road. Last cast of the session, bait in the water about 5 mins when the rod goes bouncing out of the stand
and starts dancing a jig on the ground, heart racing picked it up and connected to a fish then bang, dead line, not even my trace left on the end 
Packed up the gear slightly bemused....
Called a friend who is a far more experience angler and his guess was tope, whatever it was it was certainly exciting and left me wanting more more more
