A nice fine morning saw Tony and I up and out for 5.00am in anticipation not of a big catch but of something .....
My target I thought was achievable at 6 fish to the boat however Tony was a little less optimistic preferring to forcast one between us ...
Well, if he'd really been a betting man I'm sure he could have found favourable odds ...... then, cleaned up as yes, that was the total score one coddy between us, the same number of points picked up by the magpies today (or, half the number squandered by the mags if you feel that way).
So that was it all quiet at sea, a gentle "Freezing" South Wind a slow rolling sea and "almost" not a fish in sight. Met with a few out today that were also experiencing the same so its the prey and not the predator at fault.
Nice to see some familiar faces out there again, I'm sure it'll come good soon, maybe next week
Anyway was time at least to dust off the cameras ........
and a short (very short) video at the end, simply, after eventually boating the small codling I was so pleased and relieved that the 60 odd mile over the past couple of trips had eventually produced a fish that there was really only one thing I could do with it ....... see video
couple of pics of the day ....
Sunrises ..... once again .... magic !
and a familiar face (over his favourite wreck) Arthur with Lazy Daze
and what to do with the first fish in 60 mile ......
