what a disapointment! venue smaller than i thought, how have people had matches there???

some right idots there and couple for a special needs home, so crossing was going to be a problem. we gave the SN pleanty of room as the others to our right looked like they new what they were doing, JOKE. one had a very dangerous crack off that sailed a meter infont of us into the water, twat werent using shockleader. their 2nd to last casts (three rods between 2) 2 went right over my lines, just returned to the car to get out of the wind and a have bite and they reeled in "**&^&^%$!!!!.

total catches us 1 crab to me on my last cast full of eggs. several crabs caught by both groups to our sides with the twats porposly kicking then stamping on one one of these jammy twats managed a 1/2 decent whitting and one of the SN caught a tiny dab.

a small wooden lauch towwing a wooden row boat came so close that cast right over the tow rope!!!!! unfortunantly snapping my line

there was nice little greebe but it never came close enough for a decent picture.

no fish but nice to get out wether not too windy and cold

Sounds about right for Gillingham Pier!
Trouble is there's no escaping people it's so small. Can't really ever remember a decent report from there, on here or locally.
The Medway is normally slow this time of year but nothing ventured nothing gained and all that!!!
