Bit of a nightmarish day.
Woke up at 430am for the 100 min drive to Kessy with my mate Lee. Looked gorgeous morning. Had been some good reports from prev day so hopes high.
First bad thing - first cast - !!SNAP!! - lost rig on rod1!
Bad No.2 - ceramic centre of last eye on new rod2 had gone!
Bad No.3 - bait was AWFUL - tiny, dead, flat, stinking muck!
Initially had loads of bites and had 5 fish in first 90 mins. 1 whiting, 2 tiny codling, 2 12oz codling. Then high time came and all went quiet. Was confident that the ebb would be bites as it normally does. But.... nope!! :cry: Odd bite here and there and some tiny fish that didn't even see the bites for.
Bad No.4 - 1 hour to go, decide - ring missus! Ten seconds into conversation and !!BANG!! rod tip thunders down with several sharp !!WACKS!! ....... throw phone to ground and jump on rod. It's on!  . Good fight and some weight to it. Ten yards from the beach and ..... you guessed it.... !BOING!... came off! Arghhhhhhh!! :evil:
Lee was good company though as usual and enjoyed the day even though it was full of frustration. Oh, would say around 10 fish in total. |
