Report:

Fished at our doorstep on the Friday night with a nice selection of bass, Biggest was about 3lb a couple of flounder. Biggest flounder was around 41cm. Flat calm night that was freezing. temperatures dropped down to around 1 Degrees.

Satuday Morning we went spinning to local mark, water was stinking and full of weed with a couple of patches in the open surf clean. a garfish was a nice surprise.

Saturday Afternoon we tried for rays but the wind kicked off big time and destroyed any hopes of the marks we wanted to fish so settled at the back of the harbour but blanked here.

Saturday Night we fished the doorstep mark again. By this time is was windy and conditions were not the best. A couple of flounder and bass, we packed up about 12.30am. We planned on fishing Sunday Morning but we woke to Gale force winds
