Got the trots

Lord Lite and the Boy Conc done good with the roker last night  with a 3 dozen haul. That's 72 wings if they took them all back home.

I was still feeling my general malaise  today so a short walk from the charabanc and a couple of hours trotting from the point rather than my planned secret squirrel covert mission. Had this lovely roach a few trots in,  all 13 oz of it. Thought  it was a small chub by the way it first made for cover in a most unroachy way.


The inevitable  non-line guard wind tangle and I had forgotten the screwdriver to free the drum so out with the fixed spool.  The best of the rest (mostly gudgeon today) was this 10.5 oz roach.


Think I will have my half afternoon on Thursday on the adjacent Ressie after some even bigger roach weather permitting then a serious worm harvest.

  2. You could trade a few wings with the Beach Gentlemen to dry and wear as chaps, I hear they quite favour the wheelbarrow so could lug the rest back to the car for you....
