Report:
'a plan should always be followed through', but next time we must check the weather forcast :shock:


had arranged something of a plan on saturday, to fish one of the days through the week..

got a pm in the late afternoon and a few ideas passed backwards and forwards with the outcome to fish silverstrand in the evening,
brought the pitch fork along as a few lug were about..
first cast ended up with a weedfest, digging a few lug between casts ensured the freshest of bait.. and it paid off with a nice little twitch to the rod tip.. turned out to be a flounder of 32cm.. nicely lip hooked too, quick photo and released for another day and back to fishin... another digging session saw the demise of my pitchfork :cry: :cry: :cry: it is now in 2 pieces in the shed...

the wind started to gradually pick up with a bit of rain thrown in as a dog pee'd on my backpack :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

no apology from the owner either :evil:

as time went on the weed got worse the wind got stronger and the rain heavier..

packed up and headed for the hills.

first time fishing here in a long while, good to see the flatties are biting, pity about the weather, but it will be done again...

With the amount of rain thrown at us in the force-7, your backpack probably won't need too much cleaning :lol:
Just dawning on me that it was in the boot of my car :roll:
