So this weekend didn't look particularly great, loads of rain and very neap tides. But my brothers were visiting and we fancied getting out for a bit despite the less than perfect tides.

So we went out this evening to fish an hour down and a couple of hours up. Frozen baits only, squid, bluey and black lug.

Couple of small taps that didn't materialise into anything over the first 2 hours or so.
Then a big slack line bite on the close in half bluey bait got my attention, wound in loads of line to catch up with it and the rod hooped right over. It was only about 20 yards out by this point and was thrashing around on the surface.
A nice angry eel, thought it was going to go a lot bigger than it did, but it was still a double, just! 10lb 2oz

[QUOTE="bacon, post: 5190, member: 329"] So this weekend didn't look particularly great, loads of rain and very neap tides.
