Well this is turning into an "eventful" season for crutchie!!!
I was determined to get out fishing again, so i picked up Fisherman Faisy and off we went. With a gusty South Westerly I did a bit of research before we set out...Got to the mark and my research had paid off! Lovely calm waters, but lots of very “wet rain”, couldn’t do anything about that!! So waterproofs on we both set up and chucked out....it wasn’t long before the first fish was landed.....Faisy had a nice little doggie.....very slow fishing for Crutchie!
But non the less nice to be back out again.Well we fished the tide right down and back up to the turn and a bit more (1pm is to 9.40 pm)..the late afternoon turned into a lovely one with blue skies and not a breath of wind.
After a few hours I had managed a couple of small Pollock to add to faisys dogs and by now a couple of mackerel! Then faisy managed his first garfish of the season......not fair i wanted one of those lol......Everything had gone quiet then faisy rod went...then his line stared to go.....oh my this was a biggun!! Faisy was struggling.......we both had that worried look... he had hooked into a seriously large one...it was pulling him closer to the waters edge......crutchie was jut about to witness her first seriously large shore caught fish(and faisy was about to witness Cutchies "girlie dance"!!!!).......faisy was seriously struggling.....its got to be conger or a seal!!!!!....but it was only a size 2/0 with sandeel!!!???????
Next thing “twang”....line gone.....shockleader and all.....bummer! Faisy climbed back up to re tackle, both of us in constant discussion as to what the bleddy heck it was .....then about 200 yrds to our right, up popped two divers!!! Did faisy hook one of these?
We will never know..... all I can say is that it was a "first for me"..never seen a diver caught beforeBeing optimistic i chucked a “penneled” mackerel head out. Nothing for ages then the rachet went ....oohh ohhhh....struck rod, fishie on.....could this be my first biggie of the day? It was fighting....unfortunately it was my best cast of the day so i had what seemed like miles of line to bring in....then suddenly a slack line......doh missed it....still had mackerel head on but that had been well munched!
Well i was determined to get that illusive monster to add to our tally of about 5 doggies, 3 mackerel numerous Pollock and a garfish....so i decided to hook up a recently caught small Pollock who had unfortunately succumbed to his injuries....i tried to give him the kiss of life! Maybe thats why he died!!!!!!lol I hooked him up and lobbed him out...ermmm big fishies obviously wanted mackerel heads today! Nothing happening and sun starting to go so we decided to call it a day!!!
A geat day out, with geat company and lots of little fishies!

Unfortunately I am going back to hospital today for more treatment, so won't be able to fish for a while
to make up for it i popped out for a "scratching" session yesterday........took a couple of mackerel on a spinner then a few small pollock.....there was quite a swell so fishing wasn't the best...i decided to chuck a two hook 1/0 flapper rig out loaded with mackerel, squid and sandeel cocktail.
Sat myself down half expecting a little tap tap and possibly a doggie....oh no....this wasn't to be!! no tap tap.....just a great big bend then a slack line..... struck the rod and thought "oooo errrrrrr"...it was fishie on!
rod bent in half..egg whisk crancking along....used big egg whisk instead of slosh!!don't ask why...i just did!!!
well i was having one hell of a struggle to bring it in...i had to sit down, wedge my feet in the rocks and just keep pumping away my worst fear was just about to happen....Barry, Adam where are you, i was thinking to myself....I need help....looks like i was just about to land my first double figure fishie.....its not a doggie, too fiesty, certainly aint a mackerel....oh god not my first double figure huss is it? i'll cack myself!!!!!
well after what seemed like hours i was seriously considering cutting the line...my back was well knackered by now and i was seriously starting to panic as to what was on the end! what a girlie!!!! anyway at last i got it to the surface and eventually on to the rocks!!!! i did the biggest ever "girlie dance" you have ever seen, running around like a headless chicken!!!
barry you would have been proud of me....yes i caught my first ever strap weighing in at 8.4lb i seriously didnt think they ate by day or in rough waters! but i can assure you they do ....just trying to work out what i tell the surgeon today when i hobble into operating theatre ha ha.....yes doc i have been taking it easy..just a little bit of "gentle" fishing!!!
