So first session off Cardiff in over 18 months today. Managed to remember bait and boat keys. Remembered what VHF channel to get out the locks… all this good stuff couldn’t last….
Had a “chat” with the sailing yatch next to me who kept complaining that there was a smell of smoke and diesel fumes and I needed to turn my engines off…. I did, he didn’t believe me as there was still a smell…. I pointed out the even bigger yacht behind him was smoky and told him to speak to them…. He wouldn’t as it was his commodore or something… anyway, he had a lesson that outboards are petrol….
he promptly nearly crashed into me leaving the lock…. Got to love Cardiff clowns 😡
Got to my mark, first cast, birds nest…. Oops!
got bait in water, then the plague of rats arrived…. After too many animated turds I moved….
Nexr mark was blonde central, loads of them! A few eels (slimy grey turds) and more dogfish (animated turds).
Ended up with a good number of blondes, couple of congers and loads of dogs. Chatting to the other boats in lock it appeared no cod caught…
Personally I’m blaming @jonnyswamp for hiding them all. It’s rude not to share so hopefully he’ll be nice and let the rest of us have some!
a few pics of my clean boat, rays and a doggie to keep @Andy135 happy…
