Arrived about 9 a.m.armed with some monster lug and good sized rag. Game plan today was to try and pick up a couple of bass for the pot.
Low tide was around 9 ish so decided that best way to fish was with a large bait on a 3/0 at various ranges. Fished one rod just beside the groin and one rod well out. Long story short the first hour saw 5 big pout 20-24cm and a few undersized all well out. as tide picked up fishing slowed down with just an odd pout and a small basslet close in. About 1.30 it all changed and around the groin i managed 5 sizeable codling best at 43cm 4 sizeable bass best at 49cm. Total fish 6 sizeable pout, 7 undersized, 5 sizeable codling, 4 sizeable bass, 1 undersized bass, 1 undersized whiting. All fish reurned except 2 bass for the pot. Best summers days fishing for years.
