I opted for a few hours fishing yesterday afternoon on the river bank opposite the Stadium of Light.I was using mackerel and blacks bait. Lost a few traces by getting snagged up, zero fish and zero bites. Then the battery on my radio dead. I decided to head home thinking it was a pretty terrible day. Just as i made my way along the river home i saw something that made me realize there wasnt just me having a bad day.Someones dinghy floated down river past me and off towards the sea.
