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.jpeg 5B4BE2D8-7BE5-4822-BE76-9033BC3576A3.jpeg](https://tsfforum.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/data/attachments/1/1054-27e3c2d2ad8188a08439a121482f057f.jpg)
