First ever catch

[BrianJ]

Went fishing on Whitburn beach with my wife & dog (7-Oct-09). They decided to come with me because it was a lovely sunny day & the sea was flat. My wife deided she wanted to see what all the fuss is about & so I set her up with my salt bass rod & spinning reel. After a few practice casts she seemed to be doing good, so I set her up with a baited rig.
After only a few casts she brought in her first ever catch, an eel, needless to say I had to unhook it & return it to the sea.
Luckily I caught 2 rockling & saved the day, otherwise I wouldn,t have heard the last.

Even our dog enjoyed the day.
Is this the end of my peacful fishing trips?

Nah, wait till the frosts start and its blowing a gale. Don't think she'll be as keen then

Well done.

ice , snow , blowing a gale i thought the missis wouldnt like it, wrong she cant get enough , last cast lasts about 3 hours. worst thing is she catches more fish , has more gear and wins more than me ,mind you so do the bairns. might try my luck in the seaham sat night badger open .
