Lovely day out today, flat seas, warm sun, good company and a few fish - who could ask for more?
Took Dave Penny out to catch his first ever fish and after a few breif instructions he preceeded to out fish me!
No birdsnests, no tangles, just started to catch fish from the off, i even made him net his own sizeable bream just to throw him off balance, but no, he just scoped it up like a pro.
We had a steady day on the bream with a few other species thrown in, pout, mackeral, dogs and a stonking Garfish - all to Dave of course. In retrospect i should have wieghed the Gar but at the time i didn't want to damage the fish.
Dave's best bream went 2-9 and mine went 2-7.
I did have one frantic moment when netting a fish for Dave, my rod went off and went airbourne off the deck and over the rail, i just managed to snatch the but in mid flight. Theres me with a bream banging away on a rod in one hand and another in the net in the other hand. I am so relieved that my favorite outfit of the past 20 years is still with me!
