I parked well back from the water and had no radio or music on the phone. No slamming of car doors or tackle boxes and as I crept around the back of the truck the lapping of the waves was punctuated by the odd splash. I don’t need to tell you I was set up rather lively.
First trace up was around 9ft with small yellow pop ups from Akami that have always served me well, with size 6 ax-63 hooks and 2 small Maddies for the bait. Keeping my stand well back I cast out over the shoal with the intention of slowly easing the baits back in amongst the shoal.
