People: myself & FMD
Duration: 2.5hrs
Tide: low water
Weather: showery, windy
Bait: crab, wrap, mac
Rigs: flappers, pulley
Results: 2 codling, 3 dab, 5b rocklin and 1 codling, 2 flounder
Report: went for a look as always at the south beaches - stalks of kelp sitting up all over the place but no raft - still thought it might be fishable beyond the front 30metres but just hopped in car and went to a pier
there was 3 rods out there on arrival so decided to head down the coast to another pier, codling on first 2 casts thought there might be chance of something decent, 28cm - but that was false dawn
kept plugging away dab 24 and 18cm rockling
FMD got a flounder 28, 30mins later another round 20
then went quiet - saw trawler coming, didnt think i had time to reel in so sunk the line - didnt matter - reel emptied and line, rig etc. gone
got another reel out and brought in a double of dab
FMD brought another codling in 24 on last cast
boys on the boat said they were sprat fishing - nice watching all the dead ones filtering back around the pier head and into open water - its a pity theres not a more efficient way to do it
on a positive note FMD was delighted first ever codling
