01.01.2023.Dodds rocks.
First day of the new year.I was looking true the window on rainy morning and trying to convince myself- if i get out today for some fishing, it would be encouraging start of the year.As the trip wasn't really planned I had to investigate freezer for the bite situation.2 handfuls crab ,some stinky squid, sandeels and 3.5 frozen lug.That'll do.Packed my things and shouted stupid old question joke to my wife - " you want some big fish, if I catch one?".Didn't wait for a annoyed answer and left the house.I never bring anything home anyways even of the unexpected success.arrived Dodds rocks half hour before sunset.busy enough spot for this time a year.few fishermen, dog walkers and selfie makers for the album- Mary with the sea.Mary, the cocker spaniel and the sea .Just Mary.etc and etc.3-4 hours session resulted frozen fingers, 5 cups of tea,whiting,dabs,flounders and dogs.unfortunately nothing unexpected.all together 12-15 fish.Not awful amount of fish but at least they where all small.
. Tight lines and Happy New Year.
