Zzippy Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Managed my first trip out yesterday since last October. Met up with Mark(DogsandLandys)at Evening Hill.We set up and were on the water by 8am. The plan was to drift the plaice grounds to see if any early ones had arrived yet. There was a cold Easterly Breeze but it was just nice to get out. Mark wrapped up against the cold The Breeze was making it hard to keep the drift up the main Channel. A quick snap of the Bar Fleur Then I went and caught my PB Whiting(only one)from Poole Harbour all of 4oz After a few hours I decided to head back in.Don't know what was hurting more.My feet from the cold or my Hernia. I will be glad when I eventually have my op so I can spend more time on the water. But I enjoyed myself.It was a nice morning out and with good company. Edited March 8, 2011 by Zzippy Quote
Jim Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Well done again Mark. Good photos too. Jim Quote
pirky Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Well done Mark ......does this mean you are not quitting the yak scene ?? Dave Quote
Zzippy Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 I am keeping hold of the yak for a while Dave. I have had some treatment on my back which seems to be working but I could only manage a couple of hours on the kayak.My Hiatus Hernia is playing up at the moment.Go into hospital at the end of the month for the Camera down my throat then they will see if I need keyhole surgery or not. It was my wife that talked me into keeping the kayak.She said I would miss it if I sold it all.I just think she wants me out of the way Quote
pirky Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Good ..... wouldn't be the same without your reports and pics from the yak !! Hope it all works out fine and the Summer gets you back in the plate Dave Quote
