Back again to my new favorite spot, I was out there last night as well but the conditions were so bad I had to leave after 30 mins, the weed was ripping my 6oz grippers out in seconds, so I went back tonight with the bait I never used and it was much better, I had bait in the water 3 minutes and I was onto a fish, hadn't even finished baiting up the other rod but reeled in a chunky 82cm smooth hound! So got the second rod out and while re-baiting the first rod the second rod was popping off, turned out to be a small dogfish and after I got him back I finally got both rods fishing and things went quiet for about 40 minutes before I got another dogfish, then right on my last crab I got another smoothy, 85cm my new shore PB.
