The wind was dropping and preparing to change direction to the west. A change of tactic - tying up to one of the buoys mid way on the causeway and fishing into the wall. The fishing started to pick up. John had the right setup - anchor tip and free lining 4 buzzers.  I quickly joined in and the catch rate was starting to increase. As the wind direction steadily moved more westerly we had to get off the buoy and anchor in closer to hold our casting line along the wall. circulating up the wall and it became common for us both to have a fish on at the same time, resulting in a bit of ballet in the boat on occasion when fish ran and lines crossed.John might have regretted his 3 olive buzzers after the third double hookup, but we got them all in, even managing to handline in one when his previous rod repair gave in under the strain. At the end of the (short) day with a 4 o’clock finish we had 34 to the boat.Some great sport and hardly time to eat the sandwiches we had brought. A recce mission to the pub for the May club day, accompanied by a swift half of course, and the day was finally done.
