High tide was 10.35pm and about 6.5m. A small gap in the gales and pissing wet rain saw me pick up my mate about half six. We had first lines in the water at just aftef 7pm. Mate was first in with a thornie, but it didn't count unfortunately as it fell off as I went to lift it. By thd time I got back to yh rod it was it was fish on, Thornie, this time it came ashore 1-0.
I went 8-2 up with a doggie, two whiting and five thornies, mate had a thornie and a whiting. Then I fecked my shoulder took a wobble on the rocks put my arm out and jarred it badly. It had been sore already but that buggered it. I all but gave in at that point and we were still an hour before high.
The mate then started his comeback and ended up with total of three thornies, two doggies, five whiting and a surprise catch of two strap congers. He caught them all on straight mackerel, I was catching on sardine, squid and razorfish.
Had to call it early as I was sitting in pain which was a bugger as it was a great night, never had to put the jacket on and I am sure we would have caught lots more.
I did have one strange one during the night where I got bit off by something, felt like a good fish whatever it was, 40lb amnesia it went through.
Barring the injury another good session.
