moved to carrigaholt beach on falling tide and caught 2 thornbacks and 2 doggies, nige caught his first ever thornie (51cm wingspan) at 2am.
next day: fished carrigaholt beach,falling tide, nige caught 2 thornies and so did I

came up with some interesting uses for a bait needle...
saw a thornie swimming at the surface about 20 ft away, one we didnt catch...
saw two dolphins swimming around the pier on the 3rd in the evening, right beside the dolphin observing boat which was moored(saved some money there).

Mmmmm thornies - want one......

I must have missed somethig here Steve - what was the new use for the baiting needle? :?: :?: :?
