Fished from 1 hour before high to 4 hours after with high at 5.30pm.
1st into the fish was blackcat with a codling just after high water. Codling up to a pound in weight came steadily through the session, with Valley boyo landing the most with 8 codling up to 1/2lb.
wilba's mission for the evening was to catch his 1st codling, he managed 4 codling and also the biggest of the evening at just over 1lb. 
Barrelreef landed 3 codling to 3/4lb with blackcat also landing 3 codling including the smallest of the night.
Valleyboyo seemed to be catching on mackerel with lug, squid and crab also claiming fish.
A nice easy session with plenty of fish!

25th March - Penarth beach
 
Decided to fish Penarth again for a little cover from the wind and the rain...didn't get much cover, we got soaked.
Besides the conditions we carried on and managed a few fish as well
Fished from about 1.30pm til 6.30pm with high water at 3.30pm.
Barrelreef landed the 1st codling at high water, a small one of a few ounces. Valleyboy followed it up with another small codling.
Wilba also landed a codling but a little bigger at 1/2 lb.
Barrelreef manged a double shot of codling with one pushing close to a 1lb. About 2 hours after high Blackcat managed a small codling to save him from blanking. wilba landed another codling at 1 and 1/2 lb and Valleyboyo also landing one of about a 1lb. Barrelreef landed a codling of 1 and 1/2lb which manged to wreck his trace.
Top baits seemed to be ragworm cocktails with mackerel or squid, although one codling was caught on crab.
All fish were returned.
