Guys!
What a great day! You are all pretty much as I imagined you would be which is a relief.
Did so much talking forgot to fish, enjoyed it so much may have to come out shore fishing more often (only non bass boat weather though). Look forward to a trip I can stand upright. I think a bristol channel meet is in the offing.
Nice to see so many fish coming in, pretty constant all day,Richard: lovely wrasse, Shaun: biggest rockling I've seen in a long time.
By the way Shaun do you sell shore rigs? The wishbone rig you gave Kiwi looked like it was presented for sale or do you just do all your own rigs very neatly?
Simon, I'm sure you were only using 2 rods. Talis, I'm sure you caught loads more than me. Pingu, now I understand. Dave, nice suit. Kiwi, the season is pretty much over for small boats but we will do it, might meet you again at a shore meet? Richard, where would we be without the forum, thank you, so good to meet you today, again as with kiwi we will get a trip out on Nimue but it really is best to wait till the weather and fish coincide! See you somewhere on the shores of the Bristol channel this winter!
Thanks everyone, Jules.

Old Smoothie,
Not been beach fishing for years but great day today. All my rigs done in wildest winter for summer boat fishing so as catch showed today not good for beach fishing. Liked it so much will do it again and need to buy rigs from you . Will leave it up to you what I need. Think next meet for you and I will be Bristol channel.
Look forward t0 it
Yours, Jules.
