Fished off the front of St Mary's Island tonight for my South Beach match - it was blowing an absolute hoolie and I was just about able to remain on my feet all evening (only got blown over once - took a nice crack on the elbow:()

Still, my spirits were lifted with my best fish in competition so far this season (and second best of the winter), caught first chuck after 25 minutes..

Weighed in at 6lb 9.5oz - just a shame I couldn't get another bite for the rest of the match!! I could have gone home for a couple of hours, but that's fishing for you, the curse of the first chuck fish:roll eyes: Still, ended up winning both heaviest bag & fish so it was worth it in the end...

I could see a few other brave souls fishing down Crawleys & Crab Hill ways, but not many lights out tonight - I wonder why lol;)
