People:myself and midget

Duration:3hrs

Tide:riseing for 1hr droping for 2hrs

Weather:se wind, warm(ish) and dry

Bait:mack,squid,lug

Rigs:frappers running ledgers,cliped downs

Results:alex-2x 3bearded rockling, 4 x poor cod(i think) 1x whiting
myself: 6 x poor cod, 3 x 3bearded rockling, 1 x pollack

Report: Was a pretty good session, decided to give spiddel a go,havent fished it in a few months. we were geting fish most casts untill after high tide, then bites slowed down a lot. alex got 1 conger run but missed it.Nothing else touched the conger rods. the rockling were decent size,averageing about 28cms, i got one of 32cms. alex also got a nice poor cod. A few new species for this year so it was worth the trip!
