I went to a local Mark searching for a bit of relief from the easterly wind , when I got there every man and his dog and kids were also there .
so there was still room for me and Ben ( my young nephew) to set up , so I set Ben up he had got himself some worms so I gave him a 2 hook rig and he sent it out using my 16ft sonix, before I could set up my first rod he had landed a small pout so a quick photo and I left him to it , he had several more of these , I was using 2 rods with big baits mackerel and squid , after a couple of hours as the tide was on the turn I started to catch a few fish , Ben seeing this now wants a big bait so a Change of rig for him and soon he has mackerel out .
my first fish was a strap maybe 3lb , then another a bit smaller both were easy to unhook and send back , by now the whiting had started I had a few on mackerel strips then I got a decent bite on a whole joey mackerel to land a whiting which went 1.15lb on my scales , my first fish for my comp ideal .Ben had caught a whiting now for dinner so 11pm we headed home .5B4BE2D8-7BE5-4822-BE76-9033BC3576A3.jpeg2571EB72-7AED-4313-A4F8-D54EE3A2CADB.jpeg628DF4BE-8F17-4865-BB07-5866D15DA379.jpeg21CDB203-1467-4C3A-AA2C-00CEDF5A2E5F.jpeg6F55B96F-A301-4520-95BE-5A567AE66132.jpeg0A2E003E-B1E7-4E7F-94B1-B629357D5465.jpeg
 
Great catch report John - I was thinking about messaging you later to see how you got on! Glad you had some company to share some worms with! ? ? I'm glad I said I didn't think I would make it - awful belly ache just after lunch & was snoring in the nest just after 10pm!

I will bring him next time if he wants to come , he could do with seeing the darker side of fishing ?.
unicorns are coming out now several have been weighed in so far all around the 6lb Mark .top prize is a T1000 I think some sort of expensive rod made by century. But you need to get all 4 spieces to be in with a shout

No Barrow yet John? !!

Someone from Cornwall was fishing the same location last year on Youtube, and I'd swear he was fishing out of his boot a fair way down!! Looked like there was more than one car there too.
