i didnt withdraw but I might as well have done. Popped out of the harbour, it was much choppier than it should have been. We saw some charters towards the end of the Swash so joined them. If doggies where the target then we passed with flying colours. It was quite uncomfortable on a small boat so we headed back into the harbour after a few hours. We tied up to an unused buoy and drowned a few more worms. Complete blank ...... Headed home after being out about 5 or 6 hours of being thrown about like we were inside a washing machine. Nothing to record fish wise im afraid but i was with a very old mate of mine and his wife and we had a great day reminiscing our younger days and the silly things we used to do.

Had a trip down to check the boat after all the wind and rain going round holes bay the sea was as flat as a witch’s tit so a quick visit to Andy’s for a worm or two , Check over the boat all good off I go ok though holes bay , around the end of key and holy s##t there was white horses everywhere not good a straight easterly, down to the end off harbour for a bit of comfort plenty of fish from the off plaice bass gurnards and a channel whiting if your out tomorrow in that sort off wind I should take your sea legs especially if it stay in that direction Tight lines good luck 👍 good luck if you manage to get out 👍👍

Well done Graham for sticking it out. You are a braver man than me. I was considering entering, but after being advised by a fellow member of the predicted wind force 4 to 5 south easterlies I knew it would be too uncomfortable for my old Back !!!. So very well done 👍

Thanks for your thoughts lads, I did have a day at least. Number 1 daughter talked me into felling a big old tree in a friends garden which took up most of the day time. She gets all the logs and I get - exercise. Good to know I haven't lost my touch with a chainsaw. As a reward, Amanda cooked us dinner and supplied the wine which was, in some part, adequate recompense. Terry.

The sea state was fairly fishable. We couldn't miss the chance to lure fish for bass to start with on what was pretty good conditions for them, then going for whiting when the tide was more favorable. Well the bass fishing came good we both caught over a bag limit of well sizable fish all in great condition, very welcome after so few trips in recent months! Well with cod so few and far between and the tide starting to slacken we went for whiting. Motoring around looking for fish on the sounder revealed very little, no obvious bait fish shoals (sprats) and few fish overall. Anyway after seeing fish of some sort on the sounder around Dolphin Sands as the tide started to slacken we put the hook in and gave it a good go, result, not a bite. A move with the tide now on the ebb saw some action, however it was of the dog and strap conger variety and lots of them along with another sizable bass! So no whiting or cod to report but we had good day in super mild conditions for November and some decent bass for tea.

Belated best wishes Terry - glad you filled your day constructively..
