Whilst I compile the photo's etc I would like to thank everyone who turned up tonight.
It was hard but...
Fish were caught.
In fact, as many of blokes left, a few better Pollack started to show but, to very small baits again worked lift and slow fall.
I reckon there was 11 of us fishing tonight. That is some turnout guys, keep it up as things can only improve. Come on, F6 NNE, sea temp 6.8 deg, 6ft white horses just 500 yards away...
Can it actually be any harder ?
The fact is, fish were caught and I'm pleased to say, one of the new recruits got a nice Pouting. Excellent m8, well done.
Log that bite and now you know what to feel for, it will be much easier to repeat.
Bites were very hard to hit and even harder to detect in the first place. I was down to my 6lb braid, a 5lb fluorocarbon leader and a tiny xlayer. Even that was too big but I needed the weight to make the depth and maintain contact. I know alot of you guys are new to lighter braids and handling it isn't always easy. I've got a wind know to undo in daylight tomorrow. Casting across such windy conditions with lightweight stuff and limp thin braid in the dark is a disaster waiting to happen. I'll get it sorted though.
Right...
Processing some pics and I'll add to this thread when they are ready.
Thanks again guys and well done, even for turning out you all deserve a medal.
Long live the soft plastics.
