Report:
Started early at low water on a mark I discovered earlier in the week and it quickly gave up a fine 8lb fish to Cliff on a popper in 18" of water no more than 10ft from the rod tip, this was followed up with a nice 3 1/2lb fish for me. We fished the tide up for another few hours on the mark feeling hopefull but the water got dirtier and no more fish showed.
A move along the coast followed by lunch and we where back fishing the top of the tide down on a diff mark, slow start till about 1hr into the Ebb then things kicked off with a fish slashing my popper but not connecting properly, a change of lure to a kilty and bang Bass on - a nice fish of 4lb or so. The action got better as time went on for the next few hours with me having another 6 fish in the 3 - 5lb bracket and my mate having another 3 fish between 2 and 4lb. We both lost 4 fish each too on the same mark but could hardly complain given the results. The last fish I lost about 5yards out after a hectic scrap it was in the 7/8lb bracket, cest la vie.
All in all an amazing day, made it worth the hours put in recceing on previous trips. Cant wait to get back though I'm sure I wont enjoy the same results.

P.S. ALL FISH RETURNED ALIVE AND WELL
