Word of Warning and a tale of Woe

[PB1363]

Hi all,

My tale of Woe? Until yesterday, the last time I had put a line in the water due to health and transport issues was way way back in April. But yestreday was going to be the day!!

Thursday has been spent preparing and checking my rods and tackle. Friday dawned and it was going to be busy. Up at 7am, take the little one to school followed by a train journey to pick up a car that I has brought. YES! I now had a fishing wagon, my rods would fit in it with ease. With my lovely wife being a keen fisherwoman we visited the local tackle bait shop and decided to arm ourselves with rag, squid, mackie and the much needed tub of live and prestine sandeels. We were set to go.

A one hour drive, a quick ferry trip and we were there. A mile hike through gorse bushes, down a 45 degree rocky cliff face and we were there. Rames Head, in time to get set up while the tide starting flooding and the sun began its descent and hopefully the fish began to feed.

I can hear your thoughts, how the hell is this a tale of woe?

2 casts later and I slipped, putting out my hand to steady myself a shard of rock managed to get between my wedding ring and my finger. It tilted the ring, wrenching one side and forcing the other side to cut deep into my finger. The next 25 minutes was spent stopping the bleeding and trying to get the bent ring over the flap of skin on my finger before the swelling made it impossible. This signalled the end of the session.

My words of warning? It you wear a ring and are going onto the rocks, please make sure you stick a plaster of something like it over the ring. I was lucky.

Having looked at the cut in the light of the morning, its now time to go and get it stitched up.
