Watwick Steps (2 Dogfish, 6 Pouting)

Watwick Steps 26/10/2007
Time: 8.00pm to 12.00pm.
Tide: HW+1 to HW+5. Spring, ebb tide.
Weather: SW winds but sheltered in bay, raining.
Sea: Calm, good swell.
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel & pouting bait. 3 hook flappers and pulley pennell.
Fishing: Bites from Pouting and dogfish all night. Eased off later.
Comments: Almost a disaster of a trip. Went to Wooltack Point first and found the weather too bad to fish, and it was snaggy! Tried Dale Fort but it was taken over with anglers. Finally went to Watwick Steps and passed someone driving away as I arrived. Used some pouting as live bait on the pennell. Had one very large bite on a live pouting which pulled line off the reel. Hooks were both through the mouth of the bait fish and it didn't hook up.
