Report:
A slightly impromtu session today, Drew decided to come around to my house to help me choose some new tackle in the shop later. As i had some frozen fillets at home we decided to try some 'mini species bashing' using very light spinning rods, Drew used an old 6 foot solid fibre glass spinning rod that used to slaughter fish for me as a kid, i was using an 8ft Shakespear 'Mentor' spinning rod. I, somehow, caught the only two fish of the day, a small Pout and a small Pollack caught on the inside bend of the pier (both on Sandeel), old school style, right off the edge :oops: :lol: The Weather was absolutely terrible and made us leave the pier for an hour so we got something to eat before i coaxed him back, that maybe lasted another hour before enough was enough...

Hmm, forgot a potentially unfunny moment today, during one of the downpours that made us uproot and leave the pier asap, only during our shelter several hundred yards away did Drew remember that i had left my new bag of £35 worth of tackle sitting were we were fishing, thankfully, there was a huge crane and fencing blocking access to the majority of the pier so basically, we were the only ones on it today. After the torrential rain had eased i was able to go and retrieve, woohoo! Why i decided that a bag of mackeral fillets was my main priority when leaving originally, i'll never know... :? :shock:
