Mixed Fortunes And The Slip Of Pain!

It’s Friday, it’s pretty windy, but we are all up for going fishing!

Our venue today is Ladye Bay near Clevedon, as we fancied a more local fish than travelling 2hrs to get somewhere.

So we headed down to Ladye Bay via the Audi garage to sit in the A3 Cabriolet.

It was a little windy to say the least, but we were going to give it a blast.

To be honest, it was a mistake and if we had listened to the owner of the fishing tackle shop we would have faired better!

Well we tried, well Neil did and so did Dave, I didn’t bother it was pointless as it was so rocky and slippery that I couldn’t see the point, plus the tide was going out quicker than you could imagine.

Dave managed to catch a small fish (whiting/codling?), but by this time Neil had given up too.

We decided to tell Dave it was time to move elsewhere (as he was fishing on a point away from us at this stage), he wasn’t too happy to start with but soon realised after losing his rig that it was perhaps an omen!

Well even worse, I fell over on the rocks and bashed my left leg pretty badly, the pain was indescribable! But as I had my fishing boots etc on, I did not look at what was beneath on my leg until 8pm that evening when going home!

So off we went to our next venue…

I’ll say not a lot about it, but we all thought it was fantastic, even though only 1 fish was caught (a 2.2lb codling), which is no doubt Saturday’s dinner for DT.

A good afternoon/evening had by all… and two added to the lead that DT has over myself and Neil!
