In laws were down so i took thurs and friday off to go fishing with Phil. 

Thursday saw us out on pugwash - first for bait in portlands entrances - the mackies were hard to come by and after over an hour we only had 5 having tried 2 entrances - we said what we really need is double that amount - just a couple more each and suddenly bang - i pull in 3 phil brings in 2 - doubled our catch and bait for the day sorted!

I also had a lovely red gurnard on the feathers.

we anchored at a spot i know turns up a great variety of fish and we weren't disappointed. 

I had a couple of decent sized thornies, gurnards, and dogs and phil was on conger duty!

All day we were getting rattling bites on our big baits - so i chucked down a small hook rig - but try as i might i didnt find out what it was - either small bream or gurnard. I also had a monster spider crab that dropped off 1ft below the surface. and we saw the dolphin again!

fishing was steady in a strong ebb tide - but the 2 big fish came at slack - a 10lb thornie for me and big conger for Phil that must have been close to 15lb

What sort of depth are you getting the roker in? We always get them in shallow (30’) water I wonder if they put a better effort in in the deeper stuff? 

70-80ft - my 10lber was stuck fast on the bottom as it was slack water and put in a few head shakes and a couple of runs - the tide runs hard here and that usually lifts them - its hard work with them kiting in the tide.
