Barry Dock Blankers v Team Blank
Well what can i say? I had an absolutely brilliant day and hopefully all fellow “blankers” had as much fun as me???
I’ll start at the beginning.....7.30am met up with Cornish Girl and Mr.....drove down to the mark, parked the cars in the “abundant” amount of empty spaces and took a gentle walk across the field, where that bleddy style managed to “Trap” me again...I hate styles and 5 bar gates!!!
The wind was OK hardly a breeze, unlike Pendennis which was blowing a hoolie......There was a bit of fine misty rain, but thats OK, fish live in water!! So they won’t be put off!!Mr and Mrs CG were setting up their gear whilst I attempted to blow up balloons, to mark the opening in the hedgerow so others could find us and we could “all” fish together! Eventually I had inflated about 8 balloons, then I swiftly secured them to the ideally placed bush at the opening of the hedgerow......doh Lynnie having a dumb moment.....the bush was a bleddy hawthorn.......prickly bushes and cheap spar balloons don’t really mix, but hey ho.....
Sorry, I digress, back to the fishing report.......Crutchie, CG and Mr have all baited up I believe we all had rag and 1 or 2 hook pats and 3/4oz bombs. Didn’t have to wait long and Mr was in with his first.... nice ballan ......Then crutchie hooks a nice ballan........then not long after CG is in on the ballan also.......Certificates issued all round
CG then went float fishing, looking for her illusive garfish......unfortunately, even with crutchie nd Mr CG shouting pull (was like a clay pigeon shoot!) at the right time so she didn’t tangle her line round the float on casting, she never found those gars. Keep trying my bird, they are out there somewhere!
Well a few more wrasse later, team blank were letting the side down, we had all caught!! We need a blanker...... ooh up pops Brolly...BDB’s representative.........he tackled up and casts out.....a short while later, and he only goes and lets the side down by catching his PB ballan (1lb 15oz), and then to top it all he goes and catches his first ever corkwing! Oh deary me, Team blank really have let the side down..... 4 “blankers” and NO BLANKING!!
We need more blankers down here to keep the name “team blank” alive........ Hey up pops Tommo, Silverfish and his clan......wicked, they will save the day and surely one of them will save the day by blanking at this, usually, so called “c*ap” venue!! Well it certainly was looking that way lol until tommo got fed up and decided to become a tosser (a tisnsel tosser) out goes his tinsels, in comes 4 pollock....Oh pollocks!! Only silverfish can save the day now...come on silver take your hooks off, we need a blanker. Too late he was out with his tinsels....and yeah, you guessed it 4 more Pollock.....Crutchie has now lost the will to live.... BdB’s V Team blank, and everyone has caught, even the kids have had, Pollock, green eel, starfish, crab. And then to top it all, crutchies slosh rachet goes...oh err this feels good....I only go and land my definite 26th species by hooking a lovely Couche's Bream, yes a COUCHE'SBREAM! The bream Queen is back!! Well everyone got excited and we all baited up with small hooks and rag, looking for more couche's, but alas, crutchie was definitely the ONLY Bream Queen there today, and managed a total of 4 or 5 Couche's Bream! (Sorry, I actually lost count lol)
