Alright lads,
headed down the pier this morning at 07:30 with my dad and little brother, weather was canny but dark clouds were looming overhead!!
Once the tide run had started to push the set back between the piers, I managed a nice coalie on my lure rod with a set of sabiki teasers... about 3/4lb. Since my old shimano now appears to have given up the ghost, I fell back onto my new shimano nexave (purchased second hand but still boxed!
) It was supposed to be my spare reel but was pushed into action early into the fight and have to say it didn't disappoint! Think the reel is somewhere near £40 brand new (paid £17 
) and it seems to be worth its money. Loaded with 100m of braid it cast well and dealt with all the fish I managed today with ease.
My dad however was busy bagging up on maccy.... it was his first trip out since a serious shoulder operation and he met his match when he didn't have the arm strength to wind up 2 maccy up the sheer cliff face that is shields pier wall Eldest son to the rescue!!
I mainly fished the small wall.... only place I could find that wasn't so windy that I couldn't cast my lures out!! Managed one very nice coalie... about 1.5lb which had line pouring off the reel before I realised I had forgot to set the drag!
What a tool lol.
Day finished with a bag full of maccy for my dad, half a dozen coalies for me and a pile of launce for my brother. Another lad managed a few maccy aswell but the other lads on the pier blanked I think other than the odd launce.
Not a bad way to waste a couple of hours!
