We got to the top of the bank and we’re greeted with hundreds of anglers shoulder ti shoulder but managed to get 4 of us into a space just left of the Adelaide wreak I use ally fish a lot further on but whould have had to walk miles to find a space big enough fishing was slow for me but my mate 5 yards to my right bagged up cod then a 1 lb 9 oz bream then a lull as the tide ripped thru 6 oz was getting dragged and didn’t see anything caught dureing this period then my mate 5 yards to my left snagged two nice Macs then a nice red mullet I was blanking and getting pissy then my mate to my left snagged a nice trigger I called. Him a twat ??Then had a brace of macs points on the board then the guy to my right had a tub then my mate to left had a cracking red gurnard 15 oz then my mate to my right got smashed by a 2 lb 2 oz taites shad but I laughed as I explained he chouldnt weigh it in cause it was protected gutted he chucked it back ??? then I sorted my shit out first i had a nice red gurnard of 15 oz then a red mullet then my mate to my second left had a pipe fish that was wrapped round his trace ??

Well done mate. Busy day, fair play. Did alot better than me at abbo. Was totally dead even at long range.
It was a strange one to be sure too coloured for mass bream not coloured enough for mass cod but the amount of species was unreel that shad was a stunner but it was a stunning evening to fish wind picked right up in the early hrs mind

Was defo strange, started at abbo realy well, fish a chuck etc then died. Water was way to clear though. Interesting though as there were no mac/scad etc caught at abbo.

Went to west bay today and the water was brown, biggish swell, yet stopped at abbo and bexi on way back, clear no swell and empty beaches…… ????
