biggcol Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 All my schools were on strike yesterday and the weather was fine in the morning so I just had to get out for a few hours. Cut n Covers were coming to measure up for my prize from the open at 1400 so had to be back at North Haven to meet Wayne. I headed off to the castle to see if I could bag a big wrasse. I had no crew so was happy to mooch around in the harbour (Bobi was working). Fishing was slow 2 drifts not a bite then on 3rd drift bang something big was on the end it fought hard and sorry to say after a couple of minutes we parted company. I had several more drifts but didn't hook into anything. So change location up the channel for a couple more drifts, nothing. By now it was time to head back and meet Wayne, he was there waiting when I got back and he got on and measured up for the covers( more about these some other time). I took Boblin back out to the mooring and while I was packing up chucked out a line. Everything was put away and I was just about to pack the rod away when something took off like a train. To cut a long story short 3lb bass. The net was in the cabin packed away I could just get hold of the handle and play the fish with both arms fully outstretched luckily the net didn't catch on anything and the bass was safely netted. So bass for tea. I still had a few worms so chucked out again and a few mins later I hooked another passing train great fun in 3ft of water this one went just under 4lb. So one more chuck and then I must go I packed all my bits into the dinghy except the rod. then locked up the boat to give my last chuck as long as possible in the water. No train hit this time, but as I picked up the rod to reel in it felt a bit heavy and started pulling back. No bass this time but a nice fat flounder of 1.5lb. So for all you guys who haven't been able to get out TOUGH Colin Quote
