The Jester 14.07.2013. Hard Going...

[The Jester]

Picked Deano up at 5.00 this morning with high hopes of doing some favourite wrecks up north, well things didnt go exactly to plan...

Left the marina into a snotty sea that the bit of northerly had kicked up from yesterday....slammed our way at 12 knotts some 8 miles, determined not to turn back, fortune favours the brave as Dunc says....

10 drifts on our fave wreck returned 3 whities and as much macky as you wanted, next wreck nowt, nowt, whitey, nowt and so it went on.....

By now we were 3 miles from home and finally a bit of action, a Pollock around 5lb.....


Rob....i'm getting closer mate....

and thats it.....a few codling taken close in today by other boats, but that wasnt for us, sights were set high for a lunker.....but we tried and died...
but hey...thats fishing....

This fella popped up next to the boat and scared the life out of Deano



Boats dont half clean down easier with a few coats of polish on....

Hard going eh Chris, I kills me when the forecast looks great with glass like seas and gentle zephrys and you get to the open sea to be met by a snotty chop! Nigtmare, anyway at least you go out and caught!
