Easy like Sunday morning.

Sunday 18th January


There’s nothing like that first coffee of the day
and reading the newspaper on a Sunday morning

- especially when the coffee is from your flask
and the paper is wrapped around some lug from Geoff’s.

On Saturday I’d stopped by for a chat with Mehmet who’d been hauling in clumps of weed near the green triangles and so decided on a slight change of venue today in the desperate hope of breaking a run of blanks and catching my first fish of 2009.

East of Splash Point, known to some as “Not Bad Gully.“
Would it be “No Bloomin’ Good” ?






Half an hour before Low,
within seconds I was into weed.




I pushed the butt cups as high as they’d go and kept as much of the line out of the water as I could to try and beat it but the weed was persistant, every 5 minutes I had to clear another washing line.




Eventually as the inner gully filled and leaving it out there a bit too long I was almost relieved when the leader knot parted and I decided to do without a shockleader and go for gentle casts into the inner gully, which proved to be weed free.



Time passed,
I repeated the mantra…

Pleeease just one fish, just one and then I’ll go, pleeeeease, just one little fish…..

Wish id been up to see you cartwheeling across the beach.


Well done on the slug.

Well done Paul!

Isn't it amazing the pleasure such a small fish can bring
