nowt startling,, 8 boats, 16 odd lads on them, a 3lb Pollock won the £80.00 sweep, far to
windy for us little boats, we were chucked all over, most of us fished around the Yellow can
and off the island, we all caught cod but most 2 - to 2 1/2 lbs, only 1
mackerel landed, I think we were all glad when it was time to weigh in,,, at 1pm, and as usual 1.30pm the wind dropped and the sun came out. my Mate Col landed 3 cod , I managed 5, all of them caught on prawns,,
I can hardly move at the moment, dreading plastering that bathroom tomorrow, just had a few pints of pain killer aka John Smiths, an early night on the books and probably a few pain killers for breakfast, paracetamol this time ,,,, my lower back is gooosed just with the rocking and rolling of the boat up and down side to side, for 4 hours, saw some great acrobatics from a small pod of dolphins just off W/Bay beach,, leaping out of the water and spinning, verrrry impressive
Cheers lads,,,,
 
Shame it only took 3lber to win, but like you said, not the best condittions for small boats.
know what you mean about the bad back, every time i come back in, ibuprophen and paracetamol together help calm it down. Well done getting out and getting fish.
