Report:well hello everyone

,this is our first post from our usual mark, dee harbour. it's been a bit quiet here lately. I fished here during the day last week and came up blank, but as usual we returned after dark and produced the goods

. we also pulled up a mystery fish in the bait trap which i can't identify in any of our books, so comments would be greatly appreciated. we arrived and set up for half nine and cast our rods out to the gap between the mouth of the harbour and the far harbour wall. i was into a nice 26cm 3 bearded rockling almost immeadetaly, which was a suprise considering we were using 3/0 hooks

things went quiet for a while and then my son caught his biggest fish to date, a 76cm dogfish

around 11pm. we likely missed lots of bites after this because the wind picked up and you could not tell when we were getting bites or it was the wind bending the rod tips. but we stuck with it anyway and around midnight jordan was into a nice 35cm coalfish but the wind was really becoming a pain. then it felt like an episode of deadliest catch. we must have fed every crab in the harbour with our baits. we were going to wrap it up at 2am but my rod nearly bounced off the railing and i was into a nice 21cm pouting which gave us a glimmer of hope and we stuck it out another hour before we packed up for home. we got a mystery fish in the bait trap when we pulled it up as we were packing away, all in all a lovely wee session. ALL fish were returned.
