Time: 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
Tide: HW to HW-2. Neap ebb tide.
Weather: Dry and bright, moderate wind.
Sea: Moderate.
Tackle & Bait: Usual mackerel.
Fishing: Nothing.
Comments: Went to investigate the ledges as I haven't had a chance before. Good ledges to the right of the bay, and some around the headland on the left. Tried fishing for a couple of hours but it was an ebb tide in the day so didn't expect to get anything - and I was right! Now I know the ledges I can come back for a night session.

Stackpole (8 Dogfish, 1 Whiting)

Stackpole 14/03/2008
Time: 6.30pm to 9.30pm.
Tide: LW+1 to LW+4. Neap, flood tide.
Weather: Drizzle, light S wind.
Sea: Moderate.
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel strips and whiting livebait.
Fishing: Dogfish!!
Comments: The dogfish have moved in after the big storm this week. Started catching them as soon as I arrived and they kept coming as usual. Put some small ones back and took a few larger ones home. Gave up early as there was some tackle loss - dogs dragging the rigs into weeds and snags - and I was tired of hauling them in. Doesn't seem to be much else around when the dogs take over in such numbers.
