Another dig at the flats, different estuary today , so was not sure what to expect, out in to the darkness and up to nipple deep certainly wakes a bloke up!
The first drag proceed a net full of weed and 2 keepers and a short, going on that result we shook out the weed and did another drag , things got interesting we managed another couple of flats and a 12 inch monkfish and while shaking out the weed and sticks out we found a 3 inch gurnard and a seahorse hanging onto the mesh.
The cold water and shaking out weed took a toll on our enthusiasm, but “one last” drag bagged us 5 more , and having to make our way back to our gear, we dragged the net , weed and all , back to our gear. As we hauled out bugger me another couple of beauties and a six inch brim.
We gutted our flats in the rain , and wandered back to the truck. Home for a hot shower, hot drink and dry clothes! Enough fish to share with friends and neighbours . Once again a huge thanks to VC for being a great barstard and being keen / crazy enough to wander around in the dark cold tide with me. Cheers
