Adam F Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The last few trips on JV have been nothing short of military precision - the last Alderney trip saw us loading 5 trolley loads of kit onboard, the last mid channel trip - buckets of leads, boxes of shads etc, etc..... ..... so the lats few trips have been the opposite. Ive been going with just the miniumum of gear - a handful of leads, a few swivels, a spool of trace line and a few hooks - all fit into a take away container! Went out this afternoon - knocked off work a few hours early with the plan to fish inshore, mianly in the harbour with just a spinning rod and chill for a few hours... Bought 30 (mostly dead! ) rag from Wessex... and must say I caught a fish on nearly every one - but no target species - just small bass, bream and wrasse - but all good fun! Sometimes simple is better.... the KISS principle. A great way to finish a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Good point well made Adam! But how long do we remember the lessons we learn? A couple of weeks back, I went on a 40 mile round trip looking for Smoothounds (and failed!) only to find that someone had a 12lber 200 yds from my mooring, and I know I motor over Bass every time I go out! Where will I go next time? Yes, that's right, another 40 miles! (Well, how else can we justify buying expensive boy's toys instead of a rowing boat!)
