Conditions did not seem ideal for a good night sea trouting last evening - clear, half moon loads of stars and very still, but first real chance to get at them after a busy few days so I went anyway! Despite being clear fortunately it stayed quite warm. Fished a small "dolly parton tube" and soon hooked a very good fish, some serious head shaking then long diving run which straightened out a size 14 kamsan salmon tube treble brand new out the box! Totally gutted and feeling seriously roughed up I contemplated going home, particularly as I did not have a light to tie one anything else!  However moon was so bright I managed to tie on another tube, bigger salar hook and glad I did cos made contact and landed a fish about 3 1/2lb! First of the year for me and very pleased but liked to have seen that other one!!! Hope some others are having fun and getting some good fishing in! Alex.
