Hey, yeah a really enjoyable day. Great to see everybody.
Weather was horrendo for the first hour or 2, very srong wind blowing straight down the beach, decent swell up and a brief, heavy rain storm. It did calm down significantly for the last couple of hours or so and ended up almost pleasant.
I was using lug mainly with the occassional bit of mackerel and mussel. Fished close in with size 2 hooks.
Had a codling of 3.5lbs :lol: and a smallish doggie.
I hardly fish the East coast anymore. I was using 2 rigs, one with 3 hooks on 18inch snoods all above the lead and the other with 2 hooks, one below the lead (this one got the codling). Were they sensible tactics?

Great turn out given the weather, nice to meet all who were there and the fish made an appearence too, lets hope for more of the same for the rest of the comps!!

Yeah good to meet everyone, I was the guy who turned up late 1530 ish. I fished at the end and said hello to all on the way up. I was lucky enough to see the good codling being caught just as I arrived.

I fished on after the comp till about 2000 and the dogs moved in after dark when it started to quieten a little, I got the first just in time for Mr Green to see. I ended up with 7 dogs and one codling of around 1.5 lbs plus some small stuff. All the bigger fish were caught after dark.

Best bait over all for me was squid.
