amazing sight on s.shiels pier

[micky-quayle]

got to the end of the pier about 5-45am this morning about half an hour after we arrived a group of at least 20 porpoise came past the pier end jumping right out of the water, i have seen this before but never as close in as these today they were only about 20 yards from the end of the pier it took them a good 10 minutes to pass by. there was probably quite a few more than 20 as they were quite hard to count accurately, well worth getting out of bed early to see this.

unfortunately not, a couple of lads took piccys on their phones and there was a couple of chinese lads fishing, one of them had a camera and took some photos.

loads of eels on monday (139 but around 30 of those were given) + 3 macky.

yesterday between 2 of us we had around 70 eels and a dozen macky.

this morning got around 50 eels and stacks of macky, the macky were really thick and fast 3 and 4 at a time on feathers.
