People:me

Duration:9.30am-12

Tide:dropping

Weather:very, very windy. white horses riding the waves.

Bait:mackerel

Rigs:2 hook pat. 1up 1down.

Results:1 doggie

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report:seemed like a lovely sunny morning to fish till i arrived at the venue to find that conditions were almost unfishable! bites were undetectable so i was hoping a fish would hook itself. everything told me i was in for a big fat blank but after an hour the rod bent round. as i got to the rod all went slack. thinking maybe the fish had picked up the bait and was swimming toward me, i wound in the slack and felt him on the end, nice wee doggie. i was well happy to catch with the conditions being so bad, unfortunately i couldn't add to my tally.
