| Blue Anchor Friday 15 June Decided to fish a couple of hours each side of the 7.40pm high tide last night as I'm likely to be preoccupied with the River Parrett for a while now. Also decided to empty the freezer drawer of old bait so had Mackerel, Sandeel, Crab, Prawns, Squid in addition to a quarter of fresh Lug - More bait than any two anglers would normally carry. Mrs L decided she would come along so the pressure was on not to blank. There were a good few anglers already in place along the wall when we arrived at about 6.15 but a heavy shower between 7 and 8 thinned them out. Mrs L was sat in the car watching people pack up and wondering why she was teamed up with someone who seemed so unconcerned at getting soaked! For my part I was in the "I've brought this bait and I'm damn well going to use it mode". The fishing picked up after the tide turned and I was able to show Mrs L several small Whiting and two Dogfish. The Whiting all came to fresh Lug and the Doggies to Mackerel. I think Baggie or Pingu said in an earlier post that "Who dares wins" and it worked for me when I landed my first ever Smoothound. I accept it may be the smallest ever to appear on the Forum but it's a first for me and points for the SW Duo please. Mrs L kindly obliged with a couple of photo's....   Off to the Parrett shortly to see if I can avoid a blank on the opening day!! Tight lines to everyone that gets out. __________________ Rich "If a thing's worth doing it's worth doing to excess!"     |

| Re: Blue Anchor Friday 15 June Still haven't set off for the River. Sorry about any confusion. As I've never seen let alone caught a Smoothound or a Tope I had trouble identifying such a tiddler. I'm more than happy to accept the judgement of other members as Steve and I haven't had either yet. __________________ Rich "If a thing's worth doing it's worth doing to excess!" |
