i also caught the smallest crab ever on thursday and dad came with me last night and we caught about 5 fish each but i had to bonk one of the small ones on the head, smallowed a pretty big hook but he didnt die in vain, i used him as bait 🙂

all crabs get let go, there was massive snag point from the harbour where i lost tons of green 20 pound braid, i re snagged it on thursday with my 60 pound braid line

 

i got tons of it in with my pike rods including other peoples stuff like mackereral flies etc and loads of dads red line from his beachcasters from the time he had 2 beach casters snagged

 

go pike rods i got massive vvclumps of weed out rooted and brought in 🙂

woohoo thursday day was a mental fishing day for me, i was fishing at the local harbour around 1pm and caught a small fish plus a crab on my first cast lol

 

by the time dad came down later after 4 pm i had caught 4 small fish and had just ran out of ragworm when he came down with the defrosted mackeral, good timing lol

 

by the end of the night i had 15 fish 14 small and dad had 5 i think.

 

the last fish i caught at the end was a cod of decent size for here any way and large enough to bonk and eat, which was a nice surprise lol

 

the cod was eaten with in an hour of catching it and gizmo was going mental when i was eating it lol

Yeh was a nice surprise you catching that 

maybe its a sign that bigger fish are starting to move into the harbour area 

[Yrkoon]

yeh was deffo a lot bigger than the usual ones, i should of had a look in its stomache contents to see what it was eating when i was gutting it oh well lol

got a new beach caster earlier, first one i actually bought myself, says it can be used with multipliers or fixed spools as well was 80 quid 🙂

went for the 13 foot one.

 

went down harbour with dad earlier and we were very surprised to see it active with quite a few people fishing as well, got 6 small fish as usual between the new rod and my pike rod both using multipliers enjoying the new rod but want to get fishing with it in day time to practice casting it better then once i get better distance casting etc on it i can think of a more expensive beach one 🙂
