Hi Guys,
Wee trip to the caves mark arriving at 9am with high tide around 11ish but spot was already taken. Drove about a mile along to another mark which was a new one for me. Spinning for the usual mackies was really dire and had a small joey which was landed around 3pm. Double hook flapper with rag on the bottom produced steady bites throughout the day but couldn't hook the buggers. I had set up a third rod with the float and fished close in for the wrasse and was rewarded with steady catches throughout the day... again rag on number 4 baitholder hook. Eventually ran out of rag and began getting results with the local whelks, mussels and limpets from the rocks. Great bait limpet when its on... like leather.

A cracking day to be out and a new PB for me with a wrasse of 1lb 14oz. Also caught a wee strange looking fish if someone can ID please.
Cheers,
B
