Fishing 1 & 2
Posted By admin on August 21, 2010
After the first balmy summer evening for the first leg of the fishing competition the second was held in more agricultural conditions, 16kts SSE, pouring rain and due to technical rib difficulties we’re fishing from a yacht! It was all to play for though with four people declaring one fish each from the first leg. Anyway straight out of the harbour and under the point of langness, once the engine was off the only sound was the wind howling through the rigging and the whinging of the guest crew. First drop one mackerel, straight off the hook, pass to friend for picture and get the line back in for more and it looked like it could be one of those nights, but no, all small Callig, and if you were JQ & JC - very, very small Callig, with Q foul hooking one in the tail, even the fish were trying to get away from us. Well we stuck it out for another hour and a half until the wind started to build the rain came in horizontaly and with the last drift into the Bay she struck again, nice bend in the rod and up popped a nice size Cod!
Well played Lilly …………. we’re always sporting in defeat, even when we’ve been clobbered.
