Nolton Haven Rocks (1 Bass, 6 Pouting, 3 Whiting)

Nolton Haven Rocks 20/10/2007
Time: 6.00pm to 12.00pm.
Tide: LW-3 to LW+3. Neap tide.
Weather: Overcast, light SW wind.
Sea: Good swell and a moderate surf.
Tackle & Bait: 3 hook flapper, 5/0 pulley rig. Mackerel strips and mackerel/pouting on the pulley.
Fishing: Bites started at dusk and continued until the flood was well under way then eased off. Lots of bites from pouting and whiting but the size 2 hooks may be a little too large for the smaller fish. Bass came in early on the light tackle.
Comments: Good night with the bonus of a nice bass. This is an excellent rock mark as long as the weather is dry. Was hoping for a conger or huss on the pulley with large fish bait but no bites.
