Me and Bluecat set off early to put the tent up,then dig some lug and do a bit of crabbing.Unfortunately,after 1/2 hours digging,Micks spade went bang

As we were digging for 6,we were now up against it,and the blazing sun was`nt helping either

i plodded on,sweating buckets for the cause,and had around 150 worms,which would just have to do.....luckily Andy East had about 50 left from his last session and gave them to Dave W,which helped a lot

.
The crabbing was again,excellent with plenty of peelers showing....an hour routing around will give you more than enough for a few sessions
After a hot hot keeeebab,me and Mick went to the Dingles pub for a pint,and to meet up with Del and Vicky

Then we got to the beach,meeting Karl Kilbride on the way

We started fishing around 11pm (high water 1.30am) and as there was no wind,we had no weed to contend with

First chuck and after tightening up,my line immediately went slack

on inspection,this fella was the reason...........

We thought we would be in for a really hectic night,as soon after,Mick was into one too................

It turned out to be a strange session,with a flurry of bites for one or two of us,then periods of quiet

Karl,in particular was getting belting bites,but they were`nt getting hooked,or jumping ship on the way in
It was nice to meet Del and Vicky,who did`nt take long to take her first ever bass

In the interests of harmony,Del was allowed to get in on the action too

After 40 mins we were joined by Dave W and John

who did`nt take long to find Billy

After a lull,i got back into the fish

We were joined later by Sven,who only had time for a few chucks...he was too busy talking to BDF
Meanwhile at the end peg,John was getting some more nice fish

The weather had been superb all day,but a light breeze which greeted us on the beach,gradually got stronger as the night went on,ending in a bit of a hoolie

At least we had most of the session completed before it became too uncomfortable,and everyone caught a few bass

It was a pretty quiet session compared to how it usually fishes,but we still managed 25 bass and 2 dogs between us
