17th May 2008 - Shady H

[KeithB]

Headed out early as usual this morning hoping to get a few hours in before the forecast poor weather arrived, picked Bert, Kenny & and Kyle at 4.0am and met our guest for the day, Frank N Stein down the quay. Didn't venture too far with the forecast but luckily the usual inshore marks produced the goods. Back in for lunchtime, we ended up with 52 cod & 1 ling, mostly around the 2 to 4lb with a few about 6lb. Kenny was top man with 15, Bert 13, Kyle 12, Frank 6 & I eventually managed 7 after another very huffy slow start. Obviously there's no need for me to mention which bait was the most successful.

Another fantastic morning, great craic, plenty fish, and a pint or two afterwards - Cheers Bert!

Unfortunately too much enjoyment can have an adverse affect on the younger generation

Excellent lads - nice one...how did Frank cope with the bumpy sea?

 

[KeithB]

Bolts all over the deck we are going to the scrappie to trade them for lead.

Aye another great day out again ! Thing are really going well at the moment on the fish side of things we would have done a little better if Keith and Frank had pulled there weight,great start to the season and a good stamp of fish aswell,now that the Tigers are starting to show maybe we will have to drag ower selves a little further off shore to search out some bigger quarry of the ling variety ?,,,,,,,,,,. but then maybe notfor a little while longer ,till the sun starts to shine and summer comes

Sea must have been rough enough to move the bolt from his neck to his ear!

...Obviously there's no need for me to mention which bait was the most successful...

Were flowing traces the winner?

I fished with old fashioned cod feathers all morning and the key bait was big bunches of rag...although I did catch the Ling using a hard backed crab lanced onto the middle hook

 

[KeithB]

They certainly were!
