mild enough given the recent spell and was great to get out. had loads of bait which I didnt use up. no bass unfortunately and knew early on that that was going to be the case

did anything fall to the whelk - even in cocktails?

Are whelks the wee small boyos ye get in spiral shells? If so, I've found them deadly for ballan wrasse on certain deep-water, rocky marks

yes all had a taste of whelk but in cocktail form. cant vouch for them as a result. suspect taht anything picked up thers wiil do
