I hate fog :( ...and it was thick this morning at 9.00 when I went down the marina, so after a chat with Allan.. (the local boat builder) :D...I went back home, had a sarnie...and pondered what to do :confused:.... at 11.30 I thought what the hell and went back down.... still foggy but not quite as bad..:rolleyes:


I only had an hour and a half before the dock gate shut so it was a quick dash in a choppy sea to the nearest wreck. The drift was quick at 1.5 - 2.0 knots :( I like my orange toys and lost a few rigs to the wreck:(, so i put on one of my only 2 orange shads :)...a few drifts and nowt :(....I lost the 2 orange shads :(, so put a blue shad on.....guess what...fish straight away :D....then another :D.....dropped 2 off :(.... then it was time to come in....didn't want to get locked out.... :eek:
I wish i'd fished blue from the start, I think it might have been a different story...
I gave 2 filletts to Allan for his tea, and a seagull tried to take off with mine and the carrier bag they were in after I left it on the pontoon, luckily it picked the carrier bag up upside down and the fish fell out...:D:D


An enjoyable 2 hours out.... :) and me and The Local Boat Builder are having fish n chips for tea tonight..:)
 
Nice fish Chris. Excuse the ignorance of a landlubber, but do they close the gates due to the tide? If so, why don't they dredge it so that it is deep enough. Or am I just being silly?

The gates were open 7 hours today Parrot.....:)

Yes Mark they shut due to the tide levels :) dunno why they don't drege it, but it doesn't bother me anyway, 10 mins after leaving the house i'm on the boat, so its worth putting up with the niggles..:)
