lofty Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 When you're stir crazy. Geordie Brian returned from his honeymoon yesterday and was looking to get out as he had today off. I was working out in the sticks this morning and got a text message " do ya wanna go oot Lofty mon?" With little signal I found higher ground and we hastily arranged to try a mark off Branksome Arrived at the beach and it was blowing a constant 4 but it didnt look to grim from the carpark When I launched it was very lumpy with wind over tide , big swell and white horses. I had rag but it was too rough so trolled feathers around unsuccessfully. I decided to investigate the pot buoys and see why they were placed where they were on the fish finder. Two were on a lovely broken bit of ground and I suddenly had a brace of pollock. Then I snagged my feathers. Brian was launching. I passed him to re rig on the beach as it was to rough to tie rigs on the water. My last set of feathers on and back out. Soon had a lonely maccy and headed back to the mark. I decided to drop the hook to use the worms and Bri tied on to me. It was very uncomfortable but we done a couple of hours of worm drowning. I had loads of bigger Ballans, around the 1.5 lb mark, then a little Goldsinny. POINT Bri had a poor cod POINT Then the rod looped over. FISH ON. It towed me left and right, dived , I got it near the yak and it went straight down again. After an hours fight I bought in this leviathan, a new species and a personal best POINT We called it a day and headed in happy with our little adventure . With my corkwing and bream from yesterday that's five more Basstard points Hoooooowaaaah. Stuie and Jamie W 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
