Alan, there's also a report of a twenty coming from sshhh - you know where...! (mark south of the river!! ohnden - unscramble the letters mate...)
but alas, all untrue....I speak to Andy Rutherford almost every day, and I reckon if a fish of around that size came from Rat House Corner, he would have probably weighed it, or at best heard about it...
Myself and a few pals fished, you know where, and had lots of fish (Monday night - ebb tide) lots of codlings between pound and a half and four pounds, pouting, coalies, EELS!!! I also had a big 3-beardy rockling. All manner of baits scored such as fresh crab, razor, squid, but for me it was big, juicy yellowtails that did the business. Cannat whackem!!
