went on the heugh a couple of day ago, around tea time thought I'd have a couple of hours float fishing there was a lot of people on especially on the end so decided to fish the sea side of the pier about 50 yards from the end, baited up with macky belly and set the depth to about 16ft within a couple of minutes a landed a coalie of about 1/2 lb and immediately returned it, the bloke who was feathering next to me said, why you do that they are good to eat,not at that size they aren't i said, on his next cast he foul hooked a Launce he asked me what it was and can you eat it i told him yes so he put it in his bag i couldn't believe it,then for the first time since i arrived i had a good look around the pier,there was 22 people trying to fish the end, all casting over each other, people shouting at each other, some dick blasting rap from his radio, a woman with two kids of about 9 or 10 fishing the bay side of the pier ffing and blinding at them, when i go fishing for me its the peace and quite, the sea ,the wildlife a time when you can forget about your worries and problems and just enjoy, this was a f///ing circus, packed up there and then ,when i was walking off a bloke asked me if i had any feathers to sell i didn't even answer him just kept on walking.
