Myself being sick of spikes went with a Baku knock off, VC went with bait, well we sat and watched the goats and watched the weather clag in, with plenty of current not a single bite a move was called for so I put my rod in the holder and hauled the anchor, and away we went, down with the anchor and return to my rod to find my bit runner left on and my shiny thing plus a spool full of braid had being lost to the fishing gods!

Not how I had planned this epic day of fishing! So we sat in the rain soaking baits with still not a nibble no carrots no sharks nothing, so VC relented and it was agreed we would go bash some cod!

even they refused to bite, so with the light rain now approaching medium to heavy rain it was decided to check the hook line, up she came very first hook a beautiful carrot , second hook carpet shark , third a spikey dog, then nothing baits untouched , it would have seemed the fish have abandoned the place. So with medium wet rain turning into cold shitty rain we did the same and ran for home, but the fishing gods weren’t done taking the piss, as we got closer to home the we started hearing strange tic tac blink noises as the cold shitty rain turned into hard hurty rain .

Come fishing he said, it will be fun he said...and as I wandered in the door the final blow to my self esteem was dealt, my darling meets me at the door takes onE look at me and remarks “ well who’s a f##king idiot! “

Cheers VC always and adventure, glad boat ran well and alterations certainly have improved things

Meantime, I was sitting in front of a roaring fire eating bacon and eggs, washed down with a breakfast beer
