| Flat out in the sun. Woke up today with a "do it" head on, so left the missus snoring  .Fed & watered hounds, put washing in machine, scrubbed patio, hung washing on line, Welcomed K into land of living, then we did food shopping. Made luncheon. All jobs complete by 1 pm. "Do you fancy going fishing???" yes was the reply, so slapped on the slop & chucked minimal kit in the boot. Picked up some small rag from dragon. Arrived at beach & as expected busy with paddlers but fitted in a nice gap. bang on low water, but I had a tremble on my rod within 15 minutes, predicted a small flattie but it turned out to be an 18 inch eel. Little beggar came off as I was wading back in, totaly ruined my rig, no photo & can't be sure of make so no points for hunt... botheration. Next put in I decided to cut & retie the ruined rig & whilst testing an iffy knot missed a good bite.  . K is chuckling by now.Put out again and I hit another nibble, micro bass came off in surf at my feet.  .. I'm into green fishing.The kiddie bathers became more often & I had to wade out a few times to advise them of their nearness to the line. I was nice about it & they were nice about it... we can share the beach quite happily. Boy I'm in a good mood. AT last I start catching fish, bite a chuck from 6 inch to 12 inch flatties & bass up to 16 inches. It's a bite a chuck from now on. K hasn't had a fish yet so I ask her if she wants to change rigs. Yes she says so on wind in she brings in a double shot of flatties. "No, I'll keep this rig thanks". K had more double shots of bass & flats & I carried on 1 fish at a time on smaller hooks. Eventually around 7 o'clock after 5 hours hard fishing, no idea how many, we called it a day & went to the chippy. Really enjoyable day - I'm still buzzing though that could have been the sun. Sorry no photos, no special fish & I didn't even get a chance to sit down after the first hour. __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:>     |
