I managed to squeeze a couple of hours fishing in this afternoon and still get back in time to pick the boss up with ten minutes to spare. Possibly my last chance before Easter when all the signs are that the spring run should be in full swing.
Getting back afloat in sunshine felt great even if the drift was fast and the fishing slow. Down went the anchor at my favourite drop-off inshore of St Mary’s can, shortly followed by a couple of lines. Mussel brought some interest, taking a few small coddling down to the smallest of no more than 4oz. One or two fish rattled the lug baits without any conviction or hook-ups proving it was a mistake bringing three bags of lug and only one bag of mussel that didn’t last long.
In the sunshine and sheltered from the breeze, spring was in the air.
