Report: On Wednesday I just had a light spinning setup hoping for a mackerel or two but the place was too full of weed which I couldn't clewar casting so gave up.

Fished the dropping tide on Friday to see what it was like. All the bait apart from the peeler had been in and out of the freezer severel times so I spun for half an hour to try and get some fresh mackerel and after about half an hour I managed one at distance. That turned out to be the only fish :cry: :oops: .

A seal took up resedence about 60yrds to my right and only 10yrds out and stayed in what seemed to be the exact same spot for about 2 hrs, his head popping up evey 10 mins.
