Should have gone floating...

Pitched up at the pier in full foul weather gear last night...sea flat as a mill pond and gin clear (surprisingly)

Saw peeps pulling macky and coalies in as I walked up the pier - great I thought...

...well t'was not to be for me last night as virtually ALL fish taken last night were on float fished macky - the fish were obviously about but not in chasing sprats

After nearly 3 hours of enviously looking on while fish are getting pulled in around me I did hook into something...

Oh well "beats a blank" and "at least I caught something" and so on ;)

I'll be back :yltype:

went out meself, never seen so many floats:o a fished after the bend just after the group of lads using the floats, a used a dexter wedge and had bout 4 mackerel, lost a couple and a few coalies,also lost 1 coalie that looked quite big only stayed for just over an hour canny tho:)
 
did try a mark for 2 hours along souter dropping onto a skeer near top of the tide yesterday with the float and a spot of spinning not a touch
