Grabbed a couple of hours over at Perch Rockover low tonight-plentyof small whiting and a few dabs showing- testedmy new camera out with a few of the larger specimens



Then about half an hour before low water, the distance rod with sandeel/sqid wrap took on rather a good bend and travelled about 30 yards left to right against the ebb,wound up and pulled like hell but at first nothing was shifting;after about 7 minutes of pump and wind,thislittle feller final
ly surfaced at the waters edge

Bloke fishing along from me had a pair of scale and thisweighed in at 5.95lb just to top off a nice sesh. About half an hour later just to go one better, - this geezer pulls in one hell of a thornie, tipped the scales at just over 12lb.
Finally the obligatory mood shots

All in all an enjoyable evening.


Just found out the scales were set to oz only so the rays were 3.75lb and 7.5lb

I must have replied in between some of the pictures being sorted. Hadnt seen the last few....

7.5lb still is a respectable fish from the shore.....
