When I say better than I thought I meant the weather. Great day to be out fishing, I took my waterproofs expecting to get drenched and instead it was more of a cap and sunglasses day, didn't even put my coat on :)
Set up at the 45 mark next to Joe Montgomery and straight away we were into fish, undersize coalies around the 30cm mark. They came in regularly and I ended up with 8 in total. I tried putting bigger baits and hooks on but the same stamp of coalie were still taking them. Baits used were ragworm, frozen blacks and razor, I even used some week old dead rag that I'd had in the fridge since last weekend and the coalies took that also. Thought there would be some codling there today with that sea but it was not to be for me.
Hope the weather is as good tomorrow for the Crabstick Comp and hope the fish are a bit bigger too.
 
I set up where I saw you mark (halfway between the gate and the end of railings).

Fished 2 hrs up and 2 down. I only had coley as well, biggest was about 32cm, kept me busy for a few hours though.

Asked everyone who came past if they'd had anything, all I heard was coley; a family near me were fishing into the harbour side, coleys as well, and an eel.
 
Nice one mate, wish I'd got out myself now. Lucky you had joe with yer to show you the ropes eh:D

I need all of the help I can get mate. I was surprised you weren't there today Gordon.

Coalies are better than nowt at all mate. I enjoyed myself today, especially after a really poor session there last Sunday.
