Fished SS pier the day with "the ghost" started of on the small wall, for an hour on the flood, not a sniff, moved to the Rubble for couple of hours, again not a sniff. Wind was howlin stoppin casts short and gettin me snagged so we moved to the Blocks.
Noticed the new pots shot from the SE corner to past the blocks, thats inside and outside covered now, but had a go anyway, again not a sniff for me but the Ghost got one about 2 1/2 pound an hour before high water on lug and silver.

Bad day fishing, but had a great time watchin the seals and porpoise that were just off the blocks.

Toughest conditions since my return. Hate westerly winds.
