the forecast winds left us heading out on a late start (0830h) looking for shelter and fish - initially in that order!

 

whilst bream were coming aboard off Ballard, and conditions were OK, we decided after a couple of quick drifts to head 'west'.

 

joined a few other large boats off Dancing ledge, with winspit providing a cool breeze to spoil an otherwise sunny day.

 

wind and tide continued their tussle and when the wind started to win we upped anchor and headed back to ballard for the flood.

 

total tally to 2 rods - 4 bream (2 females returned) 2 mackeral and a wrasse.......not a lot for a lot of effort!

 

back to berth at 2000h..............

A catch is a catch, a day with a catch is a good day.

Thanks Kam - felt it was close at one stage and rembering back to my yonger days wondered if I would stay out until I caught something!

 

What really frustrated me was nothing hitting beautiful hermit baits - no smothies anywhere (we put baits)

Yep, good to see you out and about finally Duncan.

 

I went out in the morning and had a sniff round the Harbour (xchurch) but nothing at all about on the ebb.

Hi Duncan

 

Well as they say everyday is a fishing day but not all of them are catching days.

 

I would rather have been out in the sun than sanding the bathroom walls, but I am sure the brownie points will be usefull when the bigger fish arrive.
