Same here Tony. Stuck it out for an hour but every cast was dragged up onto the beach within ten minutes even walking 30 yards uptide before casting. You know it is time to pack up when Jim Dobie walks past you and says it is a waste of time.
Wasn't a total waste of a trip, had a dodge up to Shields and fished just before the first gate for a Flounder, a nice Dab and a pin Whiting so I got a reasonable few hours out of it.
