Deffo the latter this time! Fished the tide back on the brigg on thursday night, moving with the tide all the time. A lot of work for 3 tommys. Enjoyed it all the same as the seals kept me company, at one point 3 hauled out on the bay side 10 yards behind me.
Next day (friday) decided to fish the inside of the brigg, 7 hours 4 wrasse, 1tommy 1 small coley 1small pollock.

Beautiful scenery, rubish fishing. Sometimes though filey is awesome.

good pictures mate. nice deep water shot:)

after our banter last time am gonna give braid a shot tommoro.

no place better to test it than the green wall, obviously not aiming at catching owt but crabs, but itll be good practice.
mags on full ofcourse with a stronger set up on the rotten bottom.

will be a good option for the opens up north with a braided reel in the box amongst the distance reels.

see how i get on. 30 quid for 300 yards .

1 crack off and i'll be skint:D
 
Well done on giving it a go and getting a few fish out some very fishy looking holes shame a biggen didn't pull your string. Nice pics feel dizzy looking at the cliff shot :)

Nice to see youve taken the plunge mate, you will gain in the long run because I've had the same braid on one of my reels for 6 months and its still perfect! :)
I used it down filey and only lost 5 sinkers over 2 days fishing. This is because your turning rocks over and pulling kelp out with the extra breaking strain.
Once your confident you will be lashing it same as mono.
3 things to watch though a good bite will pull your rod out of the rest if you don't watch. I use the ratchet. And you will need strong hooks, I use manta extras as everything else seems to straighten just with the rod! And set your clutch! Imagine having an angry cod on a shortish line with no stretch! However none of this is an issue because you know and can prepair for it! Tight lines bud! :)
 
Like to think you were using crab down there,as it's the only bait
worth using.

Yes mate crab is all I took, I spoke to a couple of lads coming off the brig itself on Friday daytime (I'd fished the low before them) and they had blanked also using crab.
That's fishing I suppose mate.

Cheers mate, the cliff shot (ben story's top) was very fishy, deep water straight into kelp. But I left after just 3 chucks because I couldn't return the fish I caught alive, its too high up, approx 100 ft. I moved to the lower ledges but it was cleaner ground, so less fish.
My bloody legs are killing after all the climbing I've done haha!
