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!
