best part about it was his dad says he should have left it longer as it had been in the water less than 2 minutes,robbie and his mate turned up and soon everybodys lines were getting pulled around and mine ended snagged in the jetty to my left, after retrieving it puts it out again and it was soon heading round again but seemed to snag just level with me so left it were it was .
after some knitting with the lines robbie pulled in a flatty and as he was fighting it i had a knock,reels in with a load of weed on the line and after shaking it off had a flounder on the bottom rig.

I fished there later on in the afternoon at the opposite end. Pulled in two decent size eels before the downpour and thunder and lightning finished me off. Those eels are a pest and they love the fresh peeler but at least I didn't blank. Might have another go down there later on today.
