People: Me and Graham Murray

Duration: 3 days

Tide: High tides between 8 and 9 in the morning and at night

Weather: Gales and rain

Bait: crab, lug, razor, mackerel and sand-eel

Results: A few wrasse up to almost 5lb, 2 decent mullet, 1 tiny 3 bearded rockling & 1 half decent coalfish (almost 1lb)

Report: Fishing wasn't great. Thought there might be a few bass about on some of the strands. Weather was brutal. Camping out was great crack. Didn't do as much fishing as we hoped to do though.
