Got some free time at short notice so headed out with what bait I had in the freezer. I would have liked to have had lug but such is life.
Normally wouldn't bother fishing these beaches in daylight but seeing as I had the time I decided I'd fish a new mark (for me)
Lovely surf on the beach when I arrived and clean of weed which raised my spirits
Varied the distances between the rods; lobbed out into just a couple of feet of water, into the breakers and also pushed out big baits at distance. Not so much as a touch on anything, even when I scaled down on hook size and scratched close in. I suspect I would have picked up some flatties at close range if I had lug.
I had to leave just as the flood got going and I saw another anger setting up. Maybe he had better luck...
