All fish returned.
Report:Met the lads and they blindfolded me and whisked me off to their secret fishing mark (only joking but I had to swear an oath and promise not to reveal it
). As I struggled to the beach mark from the car I thanked God I bought a backpack which leaves your hands free to carry rod, lamp etc. ( iT WOULD BE MORE OF A STRUGGLE LATER ON THE WAY BACK 
) It was more than worth it when we reached the mark, a small deserted beach which looked perfect for fishing. We set up and straight away the beginner (me) landed a nice dab, a personal best too 
. Pressure was off now and I could relax and enjoy the fishing. I hit a massive cast (for me ) of about 70 yds and was delighted with meself. Then Neil ( Fishface) started swinging the lead (pendulum) and it disappeared over the horizon, that put me back in my place 
. John was next to catch with a plaice, which though small was the first i'd seen ( though i'd thought i'd caught one before, only to be corrected here ). We all caught a couple of doggies after that but the real quarry was bass and they didnt show . John caught a baby tope ,another first for me to see. Some others told us they had caught 1 bass earlier so they were around. wWe had a good night and will keep hitting the mark , who knows 
, we might catch that bass the next time .
