Report:kaylem went down a few hours before us to fish high tide, he got a couple of whiting but not much else was showing. I arrived at 10pm and put a rod out far. Got a little bite and turned out to be a codling of 30 cms . Alex arrived shortly after and got a small whiting on his 1st cast. I got a couple of more small whiting. Alex then pulled in a nice little codling of 23cms. As he was bringing it in i got a bite and god a fat doggie! We decided to have one more cast before we called it a day and i managed a 28 cm codling on the last cast, nice night we were happy to get a few codling.
I ended up with 2 codling, 3 whiting and a doggie,
Midget ended up with codling and a whiting
Kaylem had a few whiting but not sure how many.
