Cheers paul, never really took a look at that beach at low water so not too sure of the ground there. It seems like a good place to get out of these gale force westerlies just to get a line in the water, whats the best state of tide to be fishing it on etc..? cheers

There's quite a deepish gully there at high water, and it's generally clean ground too (if you do get snagged, it's usually on lost tackle...).
In the right conditions, you can get decent bags of codling on the flood and over high water - but - giving away me secrets now....fish it two hours down and over low water and first two of the flood....I've had some belting sessions over low water there, when everyone else has gone home! South easterlies tend to bring the biggest fish for some reason!
Fished there last year over low water, and a guy came down and was surprised I had fish, he decided to set up next to me 'for a go..!' He was gonna wait for the flood but decided to have a chuck....on his first cast he landed a cod of a tad under 17lbs!!! thats the biggest I've seen off there (I've had them to 9lb)...every low water in a south easterly, he'll be there, you can bet that!
....all we need is a wind from the east, anything, just to put some movement and colour in the water...just looks like it aint gonna happen

I am confused here ( i know it doesnt take much)
Penn you got second pick of the prize table your weight was 1.7lb
there is a posting stating the top 5 names and weights the 5th place had 1lb 6.8oz which is less than your weight penn.
Am i missing something in possibly the way in which the prizes were awarded or have you been robbed of a placing Penn?

Terry, the first five places were for heaviest single fish only....then it went onto total bag weights...BUT...when reading the brochure, it did state "one prize per angler...", and the first THREE heaviest fish were also HB's. - surely if someone has won the match with a single fish (and won £2000 by the way!), then surely thats them done...(IMO) not only did the first three receive £2000, £1000, and £500, they also took envelopes with £200, £150, and £100 (I think??)...now if it were pools that were paid out - not a problem! But there were no pools, it was just £9 all in, and a pound was taken out by the organisers for heaviest bag prizes!
Me and Bob Gasgoign (who beat me by a couple of oz's) were a bit baffled to say the least!!!

Theyre was a few disgruntled people after the main prizes were given out but i dont know what it was about, a few people did query why the lads that got rods were also allowed the stands that they were on, the organisers could have made these seperate prizes therefore making the prize table stretch a bit more.
