Overrun Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Busy weekend on the water, finishing with a trip to Lynmouth. Great turn-out from AnglersAfloat with Adam, RodandReel, Isca, Dizzyfish, Marcel & missus, Nick, and Pugwash, making up the group. We launched down the nearly dry riverbed, bumped and scuffed over the rocks, then set off for Scillery. Beautiful day, conditions flat, with a barely perceptible breeze from the west. Arrived off the beach at Scillery, sea beginning to chop-up towards the headland. Barely anchored and a stiff breeze from the E to NE developed. Sat facing uptide (downwind) and fished with the lines trailing back behind, ..different. Due to a cock-up while buying bait, actually bought the preferred option, namely Bluey's... thought they were Joey's, bit surprised to see I'd purchased 'Pacific Saury'. First drop on the Tope rod, baited with Bluey, and a Huss run. Thought it must be a big Ray at first, until mid water. It was big, bigger than my biggest from Wales, well into double figures, as usual, the pic doesn't do justice. Then the Dogs began, well, perhaps they were small Huss, in any event, there were loads. Moved inshore in search of Rays. Adam went in close off the beach in search of a big Blonde, found one, but not of the fish variety. Naturists out enjoying the sun . Wind both days this weekend : No Dogs, sat back and watched Andy(Pugwash) and Nick banging them out one after another. Marcel and his other half paddled into the shore and landed. Later (and not to Marcel's liking ) to be seen carrying a large lump of twisted driftwood destined for a table lamp. Looked good to me, very arty! Tide turned, Huss back, had 4 or 5, all good sizes, no problem gobbling a whole Bluey and 8/0. Wind dropped out around 4:00PM, had enough by then, and fancied some chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
