Horden Beach. 17/01/13

[Bolta]

So me and me owld mate Hooker decided on an early start today. I was up at 3am Ready, and oot, The snow was bad here on the Stanley Riviera, but I persevered through the snow and freezing fog, and after what seemed an age... I got to the bottom of the garden and loaded the truck.

Got down to Hookers hoose in Horden aboot 4.30 am. Picked him up and headed doon te the beach. Feck me, it was cowld...

Fished it two hours up and quite a few hours doon. Packed up at 11.30.

Hookers caught one rockling and I caught bugger all.

Bait used was blacks, yellowtails, razors, squid, prawn, Full squid stuffed with whitebait.

Rigs used: Pennel Pully, Pully, Flappers, arl different sized hooks, still nee luck.

The sun came oot forra boot an hour so it wasn't too bad.

Better luck next time eh...

As an aside... I think I've got frostbite on me big toe.... either that, or a stubbed it on a rock and never felt it cos me plates iv meat were that numb...
