I Fished a very windy day from late morning until dark, Baits were dungy blacks ,squid and cuttle fish. Despite the wind it was very fishable .I used dropper wishbone rigs to keep the bait on the bottom and a pully pennel for a while and all the fish come on the dropper rigs I  believe I probably would of blanked if i only used pulleys on the two rods .As for the fish i managed a few whiting a very big pout ,poor cod ,loads of dogfish and two codling which were in close and around 3lbs in weight . Not sure how i managed the bigger codling as the rig some how detached from one rod and was joined to the rig on the other rod but I wont complain .Looking at the weather that might well be the last trip this year

I was using fresh dungy and yellow tails for bait and stuck to pulley pennel rigs . Bites were plentiful from the off with a nice codling on my first cast which looked like a good sign . For the next 3 hours over high water the rods were going just about every 5 minutes but this was mainly whiting snatching the bait but thankfully I wasn't catching to many of them probably because of the large hooks I was using 6/0 Aberdeens .At one stag both rods pulled right over at the same time so I went for my new rod first and I could feel a good fish knocking on the end but lost it on the way in so quickly went to the other rod and thankfully the fish was well hooked in the front lip and a nice bass was landed .
