jack Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Unlike the christmas shoppers. Andy and I on Pal-a-mine, had the sea virtually to ourselves.Under the 9oc.bridge and across a virtually empty harbour,out through the entrance onto a rippled seascape,with crystal clear visability to St Catherines Point.The sky was perfect blue and the low sun did it's best to make everything perfect.With a good forecast from the "fishing weather" website { compiled as I now realise by the scriptwriters of Little Britain ].we set off Needles wise.We thought that on the way we would take a look at Betsy Anne...O.K. who moved it ?? We circled about on our empty sea for 20 mins searching,and gradually realising that the sea was not as calm as when we started.in fact it had become Very LUMPY. So bad that we decided,to head West instead and literally battered our way covered in spray,with water spilling across the deck ,toward St Albans.On the way we crossed a really rough piece of bottom and decided to give it a try. We stuck it out being thrown about and battered in a screaming tide,for no result.After another hour,in need of refreshment without getting scalded, we up anchor and head for shelter.Once close in all was Bliss.It was warmer and calmer,and we even caught fish, A small eye,a thornback and the ever willing L.S.Ds. Andrew had a 15 minute fight to the death with a common skate,which turned out to be a 50 mtr.length of 30ml rope with accompanying weed growth,which had been loose in the water, I in turn not to be outdone exhausted myself in a deadly fight to the death with a plastic bag used to cover pallets..{does someone throw these things into our fishing zone,when they know we are out there ?.In all a good day out,but typical of our fishing expeditions...And what a glorious flat sea, traffic free,run back to Cobbs under a wonderful sunset sky....great..jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
