Duration:a around 2 hours
Tide:Rising
Weather: nice
Bait: Hard and Soft Plastics
Results: Wrasse and lots of Pollock.
Went out for a bit of Pollock bashing on the lures.
Started slowly, I had a Wrasse follow my lure right to my feet in crystal clear water..which was different !
Baz bent into him soon after he fell for his xlayer !
Pollock came on the feed as light faded as expected, with some nice pollock landed and a couple of good scraps !
They took a fancy to the Tide Minnow which leads me to my next point (excuse the pun)
On unhooking a nice size Pollock my pliers slipped and the weight of the Pollock drove a set of trebles into the base of my Thumb!
The Pollock was dangling from my thumb via a Tide Minnow which was interesting..Released the fish anyway, and inspected the damage...yep the barb was drove right in
2 choices were availabe to me pull it out with the pliers ofor go back to Bazs van and cut it out with a stanley..
I chose the later, after a lovely hike with the Minnow dangling out of my hand we began the surgery ! Baz held the Minnow straight while Pat steadied the treble...So I commenced cutting through my thumb to free the treble, saw ...slice ...hack
, an alcohol wipe finished off the operation .It was an interesting way to finish a session and the first barb ive had penetrate me (no laughing down the back !) in all my years fishing.
O ya I think Pat put a hole in his new waders
from all the bass and smoothies 
)
that looks rather painful
