With them both safely beached I was back in the water super fast. I was thrilled to get the double shot, Garfish are an excellent bait for rays and as tipping baits so I had decided to keep some for the winter matches hence the small hooks. No sooner had I them unhooked and the rod was going again. For some unknown reason I picked up the rod and struck in, pulling the hook straight out of the fish. A total rush of blood. Next cast the really positive bite returned but with a bit more calm I lifted in and landed my third of the evening. Next cast a Mackerel took a fancy to my bait and gave a good account of itself before spitting the hook at the edge of the water. I managed three more casts before it got too dark which resulted in two more Garfish landed.
