South West They are back

[Phis]

Just a short report fished frozen squid and mackerel for 3 hours in pleasant weather one shower at 1pm and the wind got up near the end of the session as predicted spot on Thrasher. Used the trusted wessex rig with 4/0 hooks full squid on one and a decent chunk of mackerel on the other and plenty of elastic it was whiting from the off all a decent size for a change all returned the only casualty was my fingers bloody sharp teeth had 8 in total so an entertaining enough afternoon
