Having wasted good fishing time watching the Liverpool match I only had a short window to fish in before it got dark. The frozen and re-frozen lug, mack and prawn were grabbed from the freezer and chucked into the car with the rods.
On arrival the weather was very pleasant - overcast yes, but mild and with only very light rain which soon stopped completely. But a huge tide saw the pier completely flooded which made for somewhat tricky fishing, I arrived 2 hours before high water and even then the waves were coming over the top. I was eventually pushed back by the waves and to the back of the pier but it was fine, it was do-able and I managed.
A solitary coley, I'm sure over 1lb anyway, to show for my efforts despite missing a lot of small bites.
I couldn't have had th baits wet for much more than an hour but it was good to get out and get the air!
