After about 6-7 years i finally got out yesterday to wet a line. Took my father who hasnt fished for about 40 years, so you can imagine the scenario. Anyway hit north horden beach (via 4x4 which was fun) 1 hour before lw 1pm and fished right up till 1 hour after hw 8pm.
No major mishaps or birds nests, it was like riding a bike to be honest, all came back naturally and thoroughly enjoyed the session. The sea was calm with the slightest of rolls, totally wrong time and conditions for this beach i know but it was basically just to blow the cobwebs away with hopefully a chance of a bite or two.
Nowt doing during daylight hours mainly crabbed off, as soon as it got dark the odd bite started appearing, not big enough to take my 3-0 pennel set up which was disheartening but promising all the same.
Was just about done when i got a little rattle and managed to hook into a tommy codling of about a pound, how chuffed was i?
While i was sorting jaws out me father had a cracking knock and heaved into something a lot bigger, looked like he was going to outdo me on his first session but he managed to lose it off halfway in poor bugger.
So anyway there we have it, i managed not to blank just!! No pictures im afraid as the lens couldnt fit it all in
