Another leisurely start after the school run and off I went, solo again today as there were no takers to join me.
The sea was lovely on the way out and just a little lumpy off a bit but it faired away.
First drop and straight into a whopper!
I can't believe the size of some of these codlings and the bait they take.
That was the story of the day, a lot of small fish all over with not much over 3lb. All taken on bounced shads.
I had a run down to Creswell skeers as the wind picked up and speeded up the drift. I had a few fish there as well but crab was the killer with bites as soon as the bait hit the bottom, again tiddlers though.
On the way up I had a quick go for flattys whilst filleting but nothing turned up.
I did find out one thing though, my filleting knife is very sharp!
I took a good sized chunk out of the end of my thumb!
I think that will be the last session out for a while with a fair but going on and I have got to have the gearbox oil changed soon and the boat out of the water.
Tight Lines,
Graham.
