alun j. Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 .......because the whiting are still here! With promise of a weather window, and the forecast NW dropping out in the afternoon, I took a keen [ newby!] friend out to find a few fish. Well, it stayed breezy and a bit lumpy in the tide.......but the fish are still there! Six good size keepers [ to 3 lbs.] in a couple of hours whilst my crew went a strange colour and 'decorated' the side of the boat!! So it was an early [er ] return to a gorgeous sunset......the calm came a bit late!! No 'bonus' fish today.......just a bonus result at this time of year! Alun. PS that red trawler is still going round and round.......so there must be fish out there!! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Martin, Far from it !! As soon as we were under way [back home], he perked up.... and, before the end of the Swash, was talking about next trip and taking necessary steps to avoid repeating the mal-de-mer! We could have a new member soon! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedger Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Takes a bit of punishment to de-sensitize them............. eh Alun. Few more trips and he'll be brousing boatsandoutboards.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yeh, What got me was the confidence beforehand!! .......which then evaporated in 30 secs. .....to be replaced with 'I'll be OK after I throw-up' [not!]. One of a number of lessons he learned yesterday! Alun. PS With newby on board.........I slashed out and bought 2 new lifejackets [ with crutchstraps].
