My day at Leysdown was cancelled yesterday afternoon when Terry Batt from the charter boat Vicky Emma phoned to see if Malc & me fancied a day out skate fishing today. after thinking about it for a while ( about 3 seconds ) plans were changed.
we fished one of Terrys early skate marks 22 miles from the marina, Not a bad day apart from the F***ing east wind, we ended up with 25 skate (about half of these were returned so that the bloody great danish beam trawler working nearby had something to scoop up ) we also got a nice smoothhound ( summer is coming )& lots of doggies.
Was good to meet an old friend Tim Barratt, Also met Ryan ( WSF forum regular ) Then when we got back to the marina Sam Cox (who i had not seen for years ) another WSF regular, was getting off the boat he was on, they had good day as well.
All our fish came on squid or herring.
Malc was sick.
