Well I'd sat at work all day fixated on Longsands webcam and the light evening wind forecast so at 4.50 I thought sod it, grabbed the girlfriend (as I knew we wouldn't blank if she came along) and we were heading out past the piers by 6.30pm...
We headed south and stopped off around half a mile out, as expected it wasn't long before Jo was into the first (very humble) codling of the season....
After a few drifts we (Jo) could only manage one more of the same size - at least we didn't blank! Anyway, a beautiful evening to be out and looking out the window this morning I'm glad I made the effort. Can't wait to get back out and start the season properly.
Did have some trouble with my auxillary - started perfectly then after a minute or so became very smokey then cut out and wouldn't start up again. I'm worried I've used old petrol mix but must confess I'm no expert - any views very welcome.
Anyway, here's a few more pics....
Was hoping to get out at the weekend but that's not looking likely!
Tight lines
