So I had a fish yesterday on an SP so i figured i should go again!!
For some reason even looking at the NW F8 I still decided it was a good idea. it's not raining after all!!
My wife has now accepted that I have a screw loose!!
Anyway, back on the Pafex Sagat, now my favorite lure(!!), hard work to cast it out but managing about 20 yards, wnd against tide but the tide was moving well so if I kept the tip down the lure would go with the tide, lift it and the lure went slowly against tide with the wind. nice one. using this to advantage I could get the lure to hold station in the tide. Superb!!
And superb thought a fish when it slammed into the lure about 8 feet out. Pitch darkness. Love it!!!
Unfortunately he went into some weed shortly after hitting the lure and with bootlace wrapped round his face wasn't doing much in the fight department so I got it in quick with a view to release.
I was pleasantly surprised to weigh the old girl at 5-9-8. A new SP PB!! Not that it takes much to increase from yesterdays fish, this one may stand a bit longer. Is that good on an SP? I'm new to it so...
After releasing it and getting my arm rather wet in the process it was even colder than before in the howling NWly so I gave it a few more casts and hit into a pollack. Pollack on that mark signify time to leave!!
had a look at some marks under the lights in the harbours on the way home but no sign of anything so I went home early and here I am!!
So there you go, I now have a new addiction. At least they're cheaper than Zonks!!
