Rigs:2 hook sheepys and 2 hook pulley loop rig

Results:35 coalies up to 38cm, 1 bass 48 cm

Report:
nice to get a good session off one of the beaches as my last 4 have resulted in 2 blanks and 2 with single coalies as the only catch. lovely night to be out without a cloud in the sky and a blanket of stars. had hoped to get a few flatties but they didnt seem active so i had to be content with coalies,....the beach seem paved with them with most casts resulting in doubles. think i only had 1 cast return untouched. was nice to get the bass, my first of the year and a nice 48 cm fish that was in great condition with a well fed belly...good to see it only lip hooked so it went back without too much excitment
