Hi all
managed to get out today for those tope,after a bumpy start to the day (wind over tide at st Albans) Got to the mark for the slack and as soon as the tide allowed us to get our gear down we started getting runs from the tope .Mark was frist into a fish and a clonker at that 26lbs ,not bad for a first fish!!.... not to be out done I was soon bent in to a good fish too and I managed a 29lber ,
but it was marks day and his next fish tipped the scales down to 35lb ,on 12lb class gear and 2oz of lead!!
After the tide started to push we headed in to the shelter of danceing ledge and chapmans pool but not alot just a couple of pollock and wrasse,
5hrs later back out for the tope simlar action to the morning ,I managed a 28lber and mark a 24 .
the final tally 11 tope 1 upper double ,10 over 20lbs 1 thirty , great sport
Tight lines
