After deliberating about marks I set off after work for SSP. Not too many on the pier and plenty of mackeral getting caught seaward side between the blocks and the end.
Spent a couple of hours fishing the small wall with crab and ragworm but no positive bites, just a few little rattles.
Then decided to catch a few mackeral before leaving so squeezed in and caught 25 big uns in half an hour. So freezer full of bait. Never seen as many mackeral - they were boiling at the foot of the wall and rafts of sandeels jumping to try and escape. The mackeral were so full of sandeels they were spewing them out when landed. No need to retrieve a spinner - just drop it in among the frenzy and it was grabbed stright away. Get down there if you need to stock up on bait.
There was a couple of lads fishing the SE corner and one had a decent codling about 3 or 4 lb, the other lost one on the lift just as I was leaving. I gave them the bait I had left and hope they caught on it.
