Report:I finished work early and decided to head out for a spot of mullet fishing before the rain came and ruined my chances for another week.When i arrived down i could only see 5-6 mullet moving around but thought it would be worth a go anyway and threw out some groundbait.It wasn`t long before they were taking the free offerings so i took my first cast.There was a big ripple on the water because of the strong breeze which made it difficult to see my bait but i only waited for 20 mins for the first bite.I struck and hooked into a very strong fish which took 50 foot of line in its first run.It was 10 mins before it was landed and weighed in at 4lb 6oz,my second biggest ever.
That was the last mullet i saw so i turned my attentions to the little gobys that are everywhere down at this mark.I found a packet of size 16 barbless hooks in my box and tied one on with a couple of split shot three inches up the line and baited it up with the smallest piece of mackerel i could cut.Then i dangled it in the shallow water and waited for a bite.2 mins later and "bang" the rod tip slammed over as fish screemed away with the bait! Only joking
,i never even saw a bite,i just lifted the line out of the water and there was the smallest fish i`d ever caught hanging on the hook,a little sand goby.But it was a new species so i didn`t care.I caught one more sand goby before i packed up and headed home.
