Toll Rd 26th March

Picked up a pound of worm some crab sandeel and Squid and was set up at the Toll rd just gone 6pm.
Then it started to rain, heavy showers and frequent. One rod would have a 2hook flapper with Ragworm as bait, the other would be a clip down 3/0 with either sandeel, crab or squid.

                                                                                      Well I wasn't expecting much till it got dark,but just on Dusk I had a rattle and then a gentle pull struck and the first fish of the night was in, a Flounder of 14ozs. 
Not big but it was a start, it was quiet for an hour, the rain had now eased and then a better bite and my target species arrived a schoolie of a pound. I had a few more rattles but couldn't connect so decided to fish the other side of the pipes. which was a move of about 20yards.
Cast out and sat back t pour a coffee and straight away a good bite, striking I could feel this was a better fish, after giving a good account of itself I finally slipped the fish onto the single, weighed it went 4lb exactly.









  Well after that the fish really came on the feed with bite after bite, although mostly from small stuff that despite my best efforts I was unable to connect to. Around 10pm I had another better bite and in came another bass this time weighing 2lb 10oz.
By 11pm th tide was was starting to ebb fast, the bites had stopped and I had a headache, I had planned to fish another venue on the ebb but decided to save the worm till the following night and try again. Still a good night with 7 Bass upto 4lb and a Flounder, all returned to fight another day.
And I'm off back there this evening.
