Ooooohhhh we do love to be beside the seaside

I was dozing comfortably in dream world in bed at seven in the morning when Tuc text to alert me that it was time to go fishing. There is nothing like being up with the sun for some early morning fishing. Maybe it is because the fish are just waking up themselves or maybe it is because it is so peaceful in the wee hours of the morning. Whatever it is, I’ve always been an early riser, so getting up before the sunrise simply comes naturally to me.

 Up early and along to The Fishing Tackle shop for some bits and bobs, via Tucs house to meet up with Gaz for a bacon sarni and coffee. Following some bacon rolls and the odd early morning gallon of pick me-up caffeine, the big kick-off to the fishing spot was on. Cartlines / L'Ancresse

 BRING GARFISH ON THE FEED
You'll often see garfish working away from the boat or shore as they break surface water chasing small fry. This is obviously the time to try with the spinners.

When you can't see gars on the surface you'll need the CHERVY.
We got down to the task of make our cocktail of pokey nose aphrodisiac after hitting the tackle shop and local shopper for the ingredients. This is chunks of old meat, fish oils, bread and bran mixed into a watery paste with a little sea water that is ladled from a bucket directly into the fishing area. You can add much more bran and very little water if the mixture needs to be thrown some distance, or even catapulted.




Well its that time of day again........ fishing  with my fishing partners in crime Tuc And Gary..


Saturday morning meant a full day out on the rocks in search of long nose which we knew lurked below the surface!  The swell was pounding in due to southerlys blowing up the Atlantic luckily they didn't cause to much trouble!  We headed to a mark which had white water sweeping round the point and gorgeous blue water surrounding it.  I cast my float out past the point and Smash!!  I'm into a decent fish!!  I knew straight away it was a long nose by the the way it teased my float.  After a good few hours or so casting around the numerous reefs, we managed 17 gars from this mark. Gaz managed to tickle out 7 or 8 of those fish from under the rod tip which was explosive fishing on his lite mulleting rod and tackle!
