Fishing Trip No.2 – Severn Beach / Aust

As I now have a nice shiny new rod and reel, courtesy of a blinding purchase from a car boot sale by Neil, it was too long to wait until the 10th of July to christen it.

So after a bit of a tour of Aust, and going down a  gippo’s lane that locked with a big gate (tense moments there…), we ended up in Severn Beach with a view to fish between 21:30 and 01:00.

It was very rocky, and very muddy there! I dropped my rod in the mud before I’d even used it! It was minging!

Needless to say we didn’t catch anything, but we did have bites on the lines, and if it weren’t for the poxy rocks we may have reeled something in!

I lost 3 rigs and weights, Neil lost 1 also on his first cast. Mine were down to being tangled in the rocks.

Roll on Chesil Beach, no mud, no big bloody rocks, and hopefully lots of lovely fishes……

Here are some photos for your amusement…

Then midnight passed, and we had to move to the concrete steps…
