After a rainy start to the week the weather had cleared up enough for the sun to break through, but the bad weather had dirtied the water and there was a constant chilling wind that kept the bpat bobbling up and down in the swell of the waves and the cross tides. With very few mackerel being caught it was case of using the calamari worms and welshicons squid head and tails marinated in a red paprika dye which noone else wanted to use and it was no surprise that he had a blank untill he changed to ragworm and caught his one and only fish(pouting) for the day, tho some lucky brill and turbot were stripping the mackeral bait of his hook in ther shambles. The rest of the boat bar, simon parry , who had his first blank session , were catching the usual Pouting bullhuss, smoothhound, bream, gurnard and towards the end of the day were pulling in Brill and Turbot- 4 bullhuss - 1 tope - 12 bream - 8 pouting - 8 mackeral - 2 dogfish - 3 Brill - 3 tURBOT- 1 GURNARD - I POLLOCK - 1 HORSE MACKEREL -. It was good to share this trip with members from this site - kevinhussar ( and his brother in law) and devonutopia(jason), and 5 other local weymouth lads who made up the charter. A drink with the skipper afterwards in the Sailers Return capped a goods day fishing. and theres already a trip booked again for september 18th and October 23rd(provisionly) This trip would have been a total disaster if the the skipper and Welshicon had not worked together regarding filling the boat welshicon had chartered . but in the end a party of 11 set out for random fishing off portland bill.

The weather was better than average for the whole fortnight and the tides were fishable where ever I went, OH JOY:icon_pray.
I started out staying near Exeter and after a day of doing very little I managed a short trip to Dawlish, Sat 1 Aug, I fished 2 hours up and 1 down from the beach. There were a lot of feather flinging going on and I swear lives were in danger. Those in the know and those in fear of permanent injury moved further away from the left side of the beach and down towards the river mouth. There were some mackerel caught and I was told a bass had been caught the day before. I blanked but to be fair I only had a few bits of kit in the car and had a go whilst the good lady sat with a puzzle book and hot chocolate on the beach.
The next day could not have been different, showers and sunny spells, for a day in Teignmouth. Not a place I have visited before so I had a good wander round. I eventually found the harbour/marina and saw 2 or 3 anglers free lining sand-eel around the boats, with mixed success. I asked a few questions and was directed to a bloke selling live sand-eel £5 a scoop, plenty for a decent session and good quality. I gave it a go and landing 1 small bass and some mackerel. Not a bad session although 1 guy landed a good number of keepers. I could see this was worth a bit more planning and another shot later in the holiday.
We then moved down to Marazion, near Penzance, and did very little on the first day other than top up the supplies and have a wander around Penzance around dusk. I spotted a charter boat cleaning of their decks after a days fishing and asked about the local fishing. The shores were a bit quiet and what fish there were were small. The skipper told me they were catching rays, cod and haddock on the 8 hours trips. So as I was my birthday whilst we were away I took the chance to negotiate with my lovely wife and arranged a trip for Thurs 5 Aug in the afternoon/evening. This done it was back to the caravan for food, wine and Scrabble.
As we were so close to St. Michael’s Mount we decided to go and have a look. The tide was out and I couldn't help but notice the worm casts on the beach. Once the sight-seeing was done I fetched the trusty fork from the boot of the car along with my bait tubs, put on the waders and got to digging. In 30 minutes I had enough lug and rag for a decent night session on Penzance break water. The charter boat skipper was right about the size of the fish being quite small but there were plenty of them and it made for a fun session.
Finished fishing around mid-night, told the misses I would be back for 10, so I was expecting the cold shoulder:icon_hang, but no the kettle was on and all was well. I love the holiday spirit. Just to make sure I gave the fishing a miss on Wednesday and we had a drive round. Arrived in Porthleven and it was cloudy 2 minutes later showers, then sunshine. 10 minutes after that showers again and we headed for the Pub on the quay, very hospitable and a nice drop of cidercheersx. Walk out of the pub into a down pore and escaped into a little bits and pieces shop. Came out 2 minutes later and the sun was so strong there was steam rising from the tarmac. You have got to love the Cornish weather. The guy in the tackle shop in Porthleven is very helpful and I saw him ring round other tackle shops to help out a chap who couldn't find the gear he was looking for. Top man.
I am going to leave it there for now as I must do something that looks like work. I will continue my tale when time allows.

Fished the wall in front of the power station, carp rod and simple paternoster with double head hooked rag looking for a schoolie, no schoolies for me but I did get a green eel not the first this year but at least I was able to get a piccy this time for the species hunt. Yet another photo to post up later for the points. Tight lines! Went out tonight for an hour or so just to use up the remains of yesterdays bait.
