20211104_110740.jpgOut again today the first two hours not a nibble, well apart from crabs destroying frozen lug and mackerel and lug and squid baits which kept me busy. Then just at the top of the tide I had my first bite and it's a dogfish, after a quick bait up out again, minutes later another enquiry happy with this one, a nice plaice, then back on the dogfish another two, followed by a small pollock. Lets see what Saturday brings, the forecast is wet and windy the stir up might do it good here's hoping
 
Adding up to a few species Phis, well done.

Saturday is to be poor, strong wind and rain, best on the west side of somewhere.

The Beeb forecast said 20mph but looking at other forecasts it sound like you are right could be Sunday then not worth taking risks ?

I try and look at them all, bbc, met office, xc weather, quite a big tide too. I have probably fished in similar conditons years ago when I was younger and daft, but on the west side of Kircudbright bay on a mark I fished a lot. It meant the worst of it was coming overhead.
