Good Fishing

Fished again today with Nigel (Guns) from devon, it was his last day so we really wanted to hit it hard. Nigel is from Devon and my souces tell me he is well know in his part of the world for smashing really decent bass and a bit of a Dab hand it the flounder. So we hit the rocks this morning where Nigel opened his account with a nice fish about 3lbs. It looked good, I had had one on the Zonk Gateride, (fast becoming my go to lure), but things failed to develop. So we moved to another spot where Henry had a decent fish, but it didn't feel right to me and I could see that Nigel wasn't really turned on by it. So my gut said I know where there will be some decent fishing, but it was a long drive away. I put it to Nigel who was up for the spin and so we went for it.

We arrived at our next mark 90 minutes later and I knew we where a bit late but some fish should still be catchable. Up with the Patchinko for both of us and off we set, wading and casting as we went. Turns out my gut was right between three anglers 13 fish where caught.

Nigel had nearly all his fish on the surafce this week and this from a guy who had not really used this technique before. Bit of a natural if you ask me. All in all a really good couple of days, it is great to get to fish with guys who know and love their fishing.

Over all the red rod brigade have been samshing a handy few fish this week and often in conditions that could only be descirbed as "less than perfect." Things look right now though so I have a feeling that tomorrow could be really good. Lesson for today for me was trust your gut feeling, because some times it really pays.

Thanks for your company Nigel and I hope you come back fishing soon.
