| Thank dog for February January ended with a blank on Monday, 3 down 1 up on the Neath river. Cold & a gentle Northerly wind flattening the surf I didn't fancy the beach. February saw the return of the prevailing winds & some rain to start with. I popped down into a bit of cover on the short arm and first chuck had a rattle. What a month, straight into a fish & my biggest flattie of the year to date.  OK still small but I am catching K up. Next in was a rockling, then it went quiet for the middle of the session with only 3 crabs. An hour before the end of the session and another rockling came out to play. Last cast saw a smaller Rockling & as the sun was coming out & the tide was on the change I fancied a few more hours, but "She who must be obeyed" was waiting so I tootled off... 4 fish in 3 hours - it can't be January anymore  Day off today, am expecting delivery of some mackeral to fill up the freezer with doggie food. A few bits & bobs of tackle for my future conger trips. Have ordered a set of electronic scales for £6, doubt if you get much for that price, but is it worth paying 30? Will have to weigh my weights & tins of food, bags of flour, before moving on to whippets  __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:>     |

| Re: Thank dog for February Well you had a far better start to February than I did Spahill. I am giving the beach a miss for a few weeks, so I decided on a quick trip to the Frome at Wool for a Grayling. All I had were 2 small dropped fish. Well done. __________________ Check my blog for a daily fishing forecast from Weymouth, Portland, Chesil Beach & Kimmeridge Bay. www.fishingtails.co.uk |

| Re: Thank dog for February All bits have now arrived. Scales came 1st class post, work, are easy to use & I will judge the quality after a few months..... or longer of I can't catch anything worth weighing  .Bait arrived at luchtime, this is our only feezer.  can you spot the secret bait  .Comparison between the fantastic service from "Baits Direct" (shameless plug) and another "online" firm. 2 packets of seafreeze (-1 fillet) against 1 pack from "Baits Direct".  Hence no room for Bread or choc ices in the freezer. Methinks I am going to be SENT fishing quite often this month. __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:> |
