Just because

Seems as if I get an odd hour here and there at the behest of other peoples plans so an easier option is sometimes the answer so not a huge change of scenery in this post. A scant hour on the pond, and though the bream were starting to have as I was leaving one missed bite was my lot.

My view from the other end yesterday was equally as pleasant and this time I was on the link ledger approach and just one hit pull in my hour. More would have come I'm sure.

A bream in it's normal surrender pose. Spawning bumps still.

Did have a drive out with a Little'Un in the morning, we did see the very distant bee eaters at Trimingham, being watched by a phalanx of scopes and Billy Big Balls lenses. And speaking of Billy Big Balls, these were a bit difficult to explain.....we bought  a Slushy instead. 

We did have a drive out after out turkey twizzlers for tea whilst the Commander in Chief  was in the  Regal watching the Elvis movie. She's hinting about a trip to Graceland next year. I'm not invited. That purports to being a mammoth.

I have however been thinking about some mackies as they are back off the shingle, typically I've missed the convenient high tides after work for this "season" so I expect they will have been slaughtered by the

undersized bucket load or moved on before I tie some feathers on in place of a mudpig rig. I sound like I know what I will be doing. I don't as my only experience of mackerel was with a hand line  being towed at high speed round Lyme Regis bay. I ought to get out more.
