hello,
Fished shields the day, started at 11 and first chuck got a dab
So thought not a bad start, then the next chuck -
Another plaice
Then next chuck -
Canny flounder
Then at bottom water the rod went big style, I was in. I was fishing the 40 mark and new I'd have a problem getting it in. I was out well over a ton and got it back pumping and winching as hard as I could, I knew it was a big fish and put everything into it but i just couldn't get the fuc*er on top and about 30 yards out starting going through the kelp forest (low water at 40 if you know what I mean), then pulling so hard the fu**in hook pulled out. it was half straightened. Serves me right I suppose, 2/0 blue aberdeen.
Well this kind of fu**ed my head up but thought carry on, there's fish here. So next chuck gets a knock and just managed to land a one that's had a harder life than me -
Then got a canny ting. then a young guy with a couple of small kids came on and set up right behind me, i couldn't relaxe after that when the little girl was running round while the guy was setting up or trying to. Thank fu*k the mother came along and took control over the kids.
Then I moved up to 41 to keep away from them while chucking, first chuck there and cracked off in mid flight, so f*ck i thought, I'll just put my other reel on. Did that and guess what on the practice chuck? yer another midflight crack off. So looked at the 2 reels and decided there was more line on the first reel than the second so put that back on. Then a couple of chucks and snagged. Just can't believe how down hill my sesh went from a very promising start. That's life i suppose.
Oh, by the way Bob I'm still P'gMSL about that crack you told me when ganning off, class mate.
