Comments: No bites at all until 8pm when the dogs and whiting came in. Then it was busy up and down the rocks pulling them in one at a time mostly. Excellent weather conditions to be out on the rocks. No wind, dry and the sea was calm, though still with a good swell at times.

Weather: Clear, light SE wind.
Sea: Calm.
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel & live whiting.
Fishing: Quite slow, nothing on the live bait.
Comments: Started off at Mussellwick Sands at low tide, but had nothing at all. Weather was good and the sea was relatively calm so I went to try Nolton Rocks for the evening and high tide. Whiting came in slowly and I used the smaller ones as live bait but no bites.
