Quickie from Hopton 29/09/11

It fished its tits off today - fished from 1530 to 1830 or thereabouts, ebb tide to slack, flat calm, clear water. Bites from the off...1 eel (first in salt water and PB ever) 1 small dog, 2 starrys, one pup and one around 5lb (a female that pulled me round, best smut scrap here yet) and 68 whiting, some pretty big. I had all 3 rods going at once most of the time (had a third fishing a whole squid for cod/smuts) and missed so many bites because of it. Double shots on the wishbone regularly. tim and terry had the same thing going on too. Was keeping good ones and deep hooked ones and came in with 45 of the buggers so will stick to 4/0 and 6/0 next time rather than 2/0 and 4/0. large smut came to whole squid as it was coming up to slack - I said to tim it was smut time and 5 mins later it was on. Missed one too.

Proper report and some nice pics to follow when I have the time.
