Me and my mate had planned this day out for a week , Had scouted out some low water rock marks at Marsden the previous week , got new floats and spinners and some good worm from moonfleet . Plan was to be fish next to rock for couple hours in hope of a plaice , then move to rock mark once tide was out and see what could pull out . Then once tide on the turn head to the start of ssp for a couple of mackerel for tea . Sounds like a good days fishing to me even now .
Well alarm went of at half 6 ,got up for my morning coffee and cig ,only to find i had left the full packet in the rain all night !!!!!! It was a sign im sure. So jumped in car to pick Richie up .Sat outside his house until i finally remembered he was at his daughters , so mumbling and cursing off i went.
Arrived out Marsden full of hope , plodded down the steps only to find the sea choked with weed . Tried one cast ,pointless. Packed up and back up the steps we went after only ten mins . Plan b kicked in and headed for the big beach in the fog . No weed here also no bites of any kind . The day was fast going down the pan . The tide was on the way back in so to save any blank we would go get a couple of mackerel . With it being really low tide i decided to have a rummage among the rocks just up to the gate . after finding a hand full of weights, spinners , and feathers. I turned to my mate to throw it all back to the wall as the rocks very slippery and said " DONT CATCH THESE OR YOU WILL GET HOOK IN FINGER" and then i threw them (What a ****) , the last daylight dug into my finger with weight attached. Bloody school boy error !!! annoyed even now . I tried to pull it out but was not shifting so off to a and e we went , After a hour they had my finger numbed and pushed it the rest of way through (had to have a little lay down at this point lol)
So there it was ..... bad day , no cigs,no fish, and a sore finger . Not to be beaten i took a glove from the nurse and headed back to the pier . fished on for a couple of hours and managed to save the blank with the string of feathers i found ........... minus one hook
Not the best day but we did have a laugh
