People myself

Duration10.00am to 1.00pm

Tide high tide at 12ish

Weather calm/overcast

Bait mac strips/squid

Rigs 1 hook on running lead/1 hook clipped down

Results 8 fluke and 5 seatrout

Report fishing started very slow, though it might be another blank, for water was flat no ripple at all. after an hour i started to get a few fluke but nothing of any size, all were very small. so set up a 9 foot rod with a mitchell reel and light line. started to fish in close along the shoreline with strips of mac: first couple of runs i got i was to slow on the strike, then a good hard take and i lifted into a small seatrout, got another 4 within half an hour, then every thing went dead, so packed up and headed for home. i returned all the trout safely took a pic; of the biggest one. it was 38cm

........they are in good shape but still a bit spent, it will be a while yet before they will be at 100%. but still get a fair wee fight out of them, when got on light gear....
