With the boys back to school I thought I'd do some bonding with the wee lassie. She never missed a pot, although they produced nothing but 11 big jennies.
Chased the mullet for most of the time with the trawlers not doing me any favours. Finally hit on them in an old spot that I hadn't been to in a while in order to give it a bit of a rest. Motored up from 'em....burleyd downstream and then drifted over the berley. With the lass watching the sounder and me ready with the net we kept this up for a couple of hours allowing the water to settle between each drift before repeating the process. She shouted when they showed on the sounder and I chucked ;D
Wet a line for onl;y 15 minutes and.......you guessed it ;D withing 3 minutes a stingy which put up a good tussle on 4lb mono. Next cast, the lass pulls a nice breambo just short of 30cms.
A nice day, doing one on one with the girl who often gets her nosed pushed out by the 3 boys ::)
Have to say, I'm a bit peed off. Just when I was beginning to feel optimistic about by-catch regs, I see the 3 trawlers working the Pine again. There must have been a couple of hundred gulls having a beano. One trawler had 7 egrets sat on it........those buggers don't hang around unless they're getting fed :'( There was a trail of herring, trevors and whiting behind one boat whilst the others were getting no attention from the gulls at all. I reckon one ain't using the same BRD as the other two.

It doesn't matter what temperature the room is; it's always room-temperature.
