sm=smelt

Bitterly cold easterly winds kept the fish away and kept us cold. The waves were breaking onto the pier as the tide was rising. Most of the rockling were caught on the inside of the harbour. The top two anglers were fishing on the slight bends at the front of the pier. Anglers found the fishing very slow as the tide was rising from low water and the 'better' fishing was had over high tide from 3pm onwards when it was also getting darker. Best catch of the day £1 for Saithe fillet and chips at the fish and chippy oppsite the start of the pier!! Lug and rag were best baits fished on long 18-24" snoods fished below the weighton a Wessex type rig. If you cant park on the pier bring a trolley for the long walk
