Adam F Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 As the forecast was all over the place, decided to try our luck that the wind might not get up and may be fishable. 8am at Baiter and all looked well with just a gentle NE breeze...heading out the harbour flat out ( ) Maverick came zooming past...met met up later out on the Spoils. Sea was OK, running across going out, so decent cruise speed. On the mark the anchor went in, and the sea became apparant - whilst fishable it was a little lumpy. 1st cast and Gordon is into an eel - nice fish about 20-25lb. Mine turn only moments later but the leader gives way. 10 mins later and Im away again, strangley the same fish as I just lost - a nice eels just over 30lb. After an hour or so I was struggling to keep the frying pan on the stove so we decided to head in as it was calling for over 2lb of lead to hold bottom. Closer in wasnt too much better, so opted for an hour in the harbour as the wind had got up a bit - no flounder action, so tried the castle, again wind with tide made the drift too fast so we packed up at 1pm and shot over for a late afternoon tour or Trev's trout farm and his new boat - cheers trev! Not a bad day all in, could have been better but nice to be out! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
