Arrived down the west arm about 9:30 am and found I had the place to myself. Firstly checked the new waste bin and found it crammed to the lid with rubbish and a little "satellite" bag next to it - the rest of the arm completely clean! :clap2: Luckily had gloves and fresh bags with me to clean it out :yucky:
Both the dredger and the Adurni were operating and kicking up a huge black cloud but as the tide was still rising (HT 10:30) most of this was keeping inside the harbour. Wind was light (but bitter) northerly and sea state calm.
Fished near the end out to sea using one flowing trace and a two hook flapper. Baited with ragworm and peeler crab. First cast got a flounder of about 10oz followed by another of 12oz hour later. Just a few rockling apart from this. Nothing over the top of the tide but water was black by this time. Caught 3rd and best flounder ( 1lb) at 1:30pm fishing at range beyond the black river plume. All fish were on peeler except rockling strangely.
Good chat with toopoos and couple of other mambers (Dave and Jim) for company until cold and then rain persuaded them that home was better bet lol. Wasn't prepared for heavy bursts of rain that followed, but at least was rewarded with one good flattie for my soaking
