not a time waster then

not a time waster then

Picked up some rag on Thursday and decided that if when I got up Friday morning I felt ok, I would wet a line for a few hrs
In bed by 11pm on Thursday night, couldn't sleep due to being bunged up (nasally) so got up at 2am
Got my gear together and got to the boat about 3.45, just in time for the 4am lock out
Dark is an understatement, the lock gates opened and I gingerly made my way out into the inky blackness, with the outer perimeter walls barely visible it all felt a bit surreal
I really should've wore my glasses
Decided that I would fish the Coral as this is only a 10 min steam from the locks in the light, took me over 30
The bright lights of Penarth seafront very visable, as was the lights all over Lavernock point caravan park
Neither were any use to me
Got to my mark and breathed a sigh of relief when the anchor went down and dug in
A very small (sub 10m) tide, but quite a strong rip for approx 1.5 hrs before low water and very little wind
Dropped a whole squid on both down tide rods straight off the back and cast out an uptider either side with a few rag and a small squid on each
It was now 5am and time for a cuppa
I was just getting the stove out and noticed the first rod do a bit of a bounce, with one long stride I had it in my hand poised to strike
No need for a strike as the fish had quite obviously realised it had hooked itself  and was none to pleased
Felt a few tell tale head shakes on the way up and with the fish staying tight into the boat, I was sure it was a Cod
It's head broke the surface and I could see it wasn't a bad one either
With the net out of reach I had to hand ball it over the gunwhales and was happy to see it land on the deck
A fat little bugger that went just shy of 6.5 lbs
Sent another squid straight back out, made a cup of tea, ate a Viennese whirl and waited
And waited
Had a good pull down on the other downtide rod about 20 mins later that didn't amount to anything
Then had a small strap on the port side uptider
That was pretty much it for the last of the ebb
Slopped about a bit on slack water then swung into the tide fairly quickly to start the flood
All that happened here for 3 hrs or so, was another 4 Congers that were T barred off at the side until the tide just stopped
and the slight N Westerly swung me a full 360
Wrapped up the uptiders and just used the downtiders with the baits just bobbing along the bottom as the boat swung about
Looking about and the 12 or so boats that were around me were all doing the same sort of thing and one by one they were moving about looking to find a bit of tide 
It was now 10.45 so I packed in, pulled anchor and caught the 11.15 inbound lock
No a red letter day by any means, but got me off to a start for 2024
 
 
 

it is in hand all ready

i will be taking it to the garage before youse. i will do a road check first, ie braking ect then feule then to fawley garage. i dont think it would pass a mot for it youse led additive in the feule, plus many aditional rules .
frankley at this age a reguler check up would be addviseable

That's why I'll get the smaller plants and plant and trim them myself
