Opening session for the year at Brighton pier

Had my first session for the year at Brighton pier tonight and fished from 9pm to 12am, with two setups for snapper and one setup for KGW.
There wasn't much action or bite for my entire session. Had only three noticeable bites but luckily they were all hooked up, and ended up with 1x45cm flathead, 1x42cm flathead and 1x32cm KGW. :fish11:

It was a bit dissapointing that Pinky and snapper didn't come to play but I shouldnt complain cos all other anglers had a big donut util I left. Overall, it was pretty an enjoyable night to to wet lines in water. :water: :thumbsup:

Well done buddy good to read that Brighton produced something for you. What did you catch the KGW on?

Thanks Raulfc7! Caught it on tenderised squid from sea bath side and fished near the second hut.

I want to exchange my flatties with your KGWs :doh1: Took Breamster's advice and made sashimi from the KGW that I caught last night. It was really perfect and beautiful taste refreshing my mouth. Eager to catch a few more!!!

Yeah, there flathead are generally caught on the marina side, especially the very end areas of the breakwall. Well... not for me coz I don't go that far; too packed. IMO, when it gets dark the fish swim along the breakwall or through the water way from the end and hang around near the sea bath till the dawn. I have caught a few of them from that side over the last two or three months, only at night.
