We were set up in time to enjoy the sunset and, as usual here, once the light started to fade the fish came on the feed. Throughout the flood tide the Whiting were hitting the bait almost as soon as the bait (you name it we had it) hit the water with regular doubles coming out - I was even getting double shots on a Pennel rig. As well as the Whiting there was the occasional undersize Bass and Pouting putting in an appearance.
As the tide neared the high mark the current increased a little and the small Codling decided it was their turn, although the bulk were too small and by about midnight (when we decided we were too knackered to fish any more) the only taker Codling had come to Mr bread.
The general size of the Whiting seemed to be a bit bigger than of late and my tally by the end of the night was 2 Codling (32 and 34 cm), about 20 Whiting and 2 small Bass. To be honest it was a struggle keeping tabs on my own tally so I really couldn't say what Paul and Stuart’s totals were for the night but I would lay money that they both did at least as well as me and MR SDV seemed to be scoring a good few treble shots.
The fish may not be particularly large at the moment but they are at least plentiful and it was a thoroughly enjoyable night of non-stop bites spent with very good company.
