What a disaster, first I kept waking up at all times of the night, Jonty arrived at 4.30ap and we set off on time. We were the first to arrive so we got changed into our flotation suits and by christ waas it cold.

The others were total strangers but a good bunch, we wre 9 in total and we made a fair speed out to the location and dropped anchor.

After about 2 hours the wind picked up and we were tossed about something chronic. I went into athe cabin for a short spell as I was getting chest pains and had by all acounts turned not green but grey.

After about 1 hour I went back to thre fishing but the chest pains returned and I called it a day and went bach into the cabin.

I must stress at this point that no time in over 40yrs of boat fishing have I ever been sick, You guessed it! I made on mad dash for the side and proceeded to share the 2 cups of tea that I had consumed with jonty and 7 total strangers as the wind whipped it the full length of the boat, whereupon 2 others decided to join me shouting for Huey over the side.

The total fish caught for thr table was a big fat zero as all fish were undersized and duely returnd.

I will let johnty give you his version of events,

Cheers a porely Keith crying

there was only two fish kept on the entire trip and i would have put them back to me they was under size for whiting abou 1 hour befor we came back i started to pack up i noticed keith was still in the cabbin so i packed all hes stuff up aswell then i just curled up in a ball to keep warm best i could and watched the other 7 doing nothing rollon the 16th and i wish keith a fast recovery at least he gave it a go cheers mate cool

No good bringing those scarbourough reels and billiard cues on this coast you know. We are a bit more refined than that, we tend to catch fish and not drown worms lol devil
