Report:


Fished Silver Strand for a while at low water, took about two casts and didn't get a touch.
Headed back to Spanish arch and fished for a while for mullet, catching a few on swimfeedered bread flake, nothing of any size, best perhaps 4 lb.
Then spun and feathered the end of the pier for mackerel (among a crowd of hundreds), catching one eventually, and then used him as strips to catch the remainder.

Brilliant site seeing all the sprat along the wall of the pier being hammered by mackerel, was like a wildlife film !

gave up a bit quickly on silver strand - 2 casts only?

Just went there for the 'scenery'....!
Didn't want to go walking too far and the place was thick with swimmers so just took a couple of casts to the right of the carpark...

scenery :lol:

nice bout on the mullet - fair play
