A day off work and a half decent forecast meant I'd have a try in the little boat (Bold Columbus, Bold Endeavour's little sister!).Set out at 5am from the marina heading south on a mammoth 1 hour steam at 6 knots in the fog - thank god for gps. Put the trolling gear on and had quite a good day weaving among the pots and the peaks.Coalies proved a problem at times coming up three at a time on 8/0 and 10/0 hooks but I ended up catching 36 pollack up to 6/7lb but no monsters this time. A plus was picking up a nice 5lb cod, they can shift when they want to, well 3.1/2 knots.Kept a couple for the boss before heading home, hitting the harbour an hour before low water on a big tide, just got in but there was inches in it near the block house and I only draw 18 inches. Apologies for no pics but it's a bit difficult when you go solo.
, were they all caught trolling :question:
Got bored to tears half way through reading that , decided to end it all , went to the garage to get a stanley knife and cut my wrists but my garage is in a right oldmess , tools and stuff lying all over the place , couldn't find the damn thing , even though I have about half a dozen of them , strange innit , how the one thing you need is always the one thing you can't bloody find? Ayway , started shifting stuff around looking for the knife , found all kinds of things that I thought were lost or had been stolen , I was trying to strim round the edges of the lawn a couple of weeks ago , ran out of strimmer wire , couldn't find it anywhere , guess what? I found it in the garage whilst I was looking for the stanley knife , abloodymazin innit? Got the strimmer down of the shelf , it's a high shelf so I had to use a set of step ladders , guess what though ...... couldn't find the step ladders , then I remembered I had put them in the garden shed , so had to go out in the rain and get them out the shed , while I was in there though I noticed a tool tray with a load of hand tools , you've guessed it haven't you???? , Nah! I had every tool out of that bloody box and there was no stanley knife in there either , I did find the spark plug spanner in there for the strimmer though , which is just as well because when I eventually got back to the garage and used the steps that were down in the garden shed to get the strimmer down off the high shelf to put the new strimmer wire in I thought I might as well start it up , but it hadn't been started for a while and didn't want to start so I needed the spark plug spanner to take the plug out and clean it , put a drop of petrol in the chamber before replacing the plug and away she went , jobs a goodun , by the time I had started the strimmer it was far too wet to do any strimming so I put it back up on the high shelf and put the spark plug spanner in a safe place so that I would know where it is when it's dry enough to strim the grass and the strimmer won't start , of course by that time I'll have forgotten where the safe place is and I won't be able to find it . ............................... What was I saying ???? .............. Oh yes , the stanley knife , couldn't find it , wrists are still intact so I can reply to your ridiculous post , what a prick , you come on here in 2009 and have a go at me for writing a catch report which bored you , then you vanish for two years before coming back to post another heap of crap about another catch report , no doubt we'll hear from you again in 2013 ? if the world hasn't ended in 2012 like some say it will , actually , quite a lot say it will ,not that I believe it myself , I just bought a new boat , not much point in that if I thought the world was going to end next year is there? Mind you the way the world is going with countries going bankrupt and the USA having it's credit rating downrated for the first time in it's history , riots in Greece , unemployment all over the place massive national debts , China owning best part of Africa and all the precious metal mines whivha re needed to build computers and such like , I might be wrong , i which case maybe I should really try and get out fishing a bit more , not possible , I fish every opportunity I get , maybe I should justget out a bit more ?? Yeah! that's an idea , the I wouldn't be sitting in front of a computer reading crap . Have a good day.
