Well, Toby and me met up at overcombe and drove over to ringtead to pick up Toby's C&R measure. Then it was off to a sheltered spot out of the strong SW winds to try our luck.
No wind + no waves = no fish. We tried for about an hour just as it was getting dark, but no luck.
Then we moved on to a more exposed mark, lots of wind and lots of waves! It was a bit of a "trial by fire" for Toby, I dont think he's lure fished in the dark before, and the conditions were a little challenging to say the least but, to his credit, he landed a very nice pollack. I had a 1/2 dozen scan and a couple of mackerel, but the bass weren't playing. still, 2 more days to go.
I've not entered the festival by the way, long story but was supposed to be away on business this weekend and that got postponed at the last minute.
