Just back from lovely 4 days down at the coot with Mr H, J&R and the two dog beasts.
And who can believe it – 4 actual days of good old British sunshine in a row. Now that never happens on a Bank Holiday…
luckily it coincided with us hiring Thumper, a small chugger boat, just about big enough to hold the vast amounts of fishing equipment we hopefully lugged on board.
Miraculously, I caught a natty little School Bass within ten minutes of setting off. Wow, this bodes well we all thought.
Sadly the next six long hours of dangling rag worm, mackerel feathers and various sparkly fish attractors got us absolutely nowhere And the first fish was too small to eat, so we went home sunburned and sea glazed but without a fishy for our little dishy..
Scrumpy and Flossy both proved to be natural salty sea dogs, though thank god the lead just about kept the swim-loving Spaniel in the boat as she did rather enjoy the sea breeze in her ears..
