Wor Lass – “A Jolly Fine Day”

[Kev1n]

After watching the forecasts all week they held true by this afternoon. The radio presenter giving the forecast I listened to on the way to work this morning simply said it was going to be a “Jolly fine day” and he was right.
The wind was just showing signs of easing by midday, enough to justify risking an afternoon off.

By 2pm I was over the first wreck and the wind that had ruffled the river as it gusted was dropping nicely. No fish showed on the closer wrecks and I pushed off to about five miles where I found a fish a drift; nothing big but at 2 to 3lb a piece were all out of the same mould.
When the wreck went quiet I headed for the rough ground and pulled a few more out from there, all the same stamp of codling coming to rag and lug baited muppets. They weren’t interested in shads today.
By sunset the sea had turned to glass and the fish were still coming in as I ran out of bait. As the bloke on the wireless predicted “a jolly fine day” with a couple of fish kept for the pan and about a dozen returned for next time.

Good luck if you’re out there this weekend.

Nice one Kev, sounds ideal conditions ...... and fish as well
we're finishing up in the boatyard this weekend (would of been a waste of a lift not to have cleaned, polished and antifouled while ashore) so here's to a couple of days sunshine graft then we'll be out there with you by next weekend.

cheers
