I had planned to kick off yesterday, but the weather looked like it couldn't make it's mind up and typically I've got tennis elbow, which is currently agony
no jokes about how i got tennis elbow please, my lads and mates have done that one to death!

Will drop my posts as and when and more to the point IF i manage to get out - will include approx locations, lures and results even if blanks.

 

[phill_itofish]

Had a shot on the pier tonight, still a bit colour in the water but managed hook into 2 fish but lost them both on the way in, it might of fished better on a high tide.

 

[SnaggedUpLad]

Heading down to the pier tomorrow morning for another attempt, hopefully this wont be in vain.
