Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

My good lady has abandoned me for the rest of the week, so contacted the usual suspect told him I had a full tank of air and no commitments...so away we went this evening, found the vis very average but headed to a mark we haven’t checked since we found it. Down by torch light , missed the rock got compass out went east , south , north bloody west ...found one lone cray in a stupid spot ..grabbed the poor we bugger.

Up moved to new turf, sounder promised up and downs , got to the bottom cracks caves and holes wicked ...rolled over the top of a rock feelers ...beauty ..now came the tits up ..keep the light on him an grab him or go in with both hands ..both hands in dim light reckon he saw me coming ...should have spotlighted the bugger and slammed him. Any way he swam sideways into his mate ruining my second option ..so a tits up all round ...swam around great turf so many holes and cracks even a swim through cave ..just no bugs ...into the boat to the delight of VC as chasing my bubbles in marginal light is far from easy.

Rang the boss how’s work looking ...pretty thin , want to take a day? ...yip ..so we’re back into it tomorrow ..hire a couple of tanks and lesson learnt will get a bright bouy and some rope attach it the catch sack so VC can see me in the dark.

Showing your sack to others, normally wouldn't be advisable, but in this case, yes getting it out there, could make the skippers life a bit easier

It’s a small boat and I think VC has seen far to much of my arse and sack .....we just avoid eye contact now ...and yip I agree safe is good!
