Boats out tomorrow so a nice weather window was to good to miss, J2, Norfolk Nick and Chris was feeling up to a trip which was great to see him back out, the plan was Spurdogs, well that didn't work!!! First drop J2 had a nice Blonde then a LSD, then everything went pretty quiet for probably a couple of hours. We had grumpy commercials fishing round us catching a LOT of Bass and good ones to. Even though the Bass ban was on we decided to have a couple of drifts, well after 2-3 drifts catching a couple a drift all around the 5lbs mark and putting them back i persuaded Chris to have my rod for a drift. " Get a 10lbs err please Chris, never had a double on this boat"  Next drift you got it Chris, had a stunning 10lbs 11oz fish on the deck!!!!!!!!!. Few more drifts and getting more depressed seeing the commercials catching huge numbers of really good fish all 5-10lbs all about to spawn, we decided on a move.

Back to the 50/50s where we had a really great couple of hours catching Whiting to 3lbs, Congers to 20lbs, and an early Smoothound. It got really hectic for a while with great banter and even some mickey taking!!!!!!

Quick run home filleted the Whiting through the 3.30 bridge, oh yes first catch of the day, and season, was a tern for J2 on a surface lure as daylight broke!. 

Great first trip with lots of craic.

OUCH!

Some lovely Bass there too.

I expect there will be a little "mickey taking" for years to come over that one.  馃槳

Just to rub it in, I am not sure that's a Tern either. I am sure it was a great day out, well done.

Think you may be right Mal, !   I am going for sea gull,      but if that flew and the bass swam  them I think you will be up for presenting a prize to our club conservationists馃槀.   Bring it up at the next meeting when Jerry is there馃構.     And sure none of us are envious of them having a great days fishing............ HONESTLY 馃槥.                                     On a serious note, nice to see Chris on two legs,  out of pain I hope.             Colin.
