Rockingham at last. 24-08-16

At last a fishing trip.
What free time I've had
I have been chasing trains or aircraft
but the fishing bug has dragged me back.
Fished from 9.30 till 1pm,
high water was at 12.07
an d 12.4 mtrs.
Bait was Rag and Squid.
Usual Wishbone rig and Pennel pullies.
As usual my first cast into shallow water
as the tide is still covering the mud flats.
A small snotty Silver Eel had taken a liking to 
Ragworm on the Wishbone.
Luckily it didn't tie any knots.
This car transporter was arriving at Portbury Dock.
 In front of my chosen was spot was this 
sunken wood vessel.
Well that was the end of any action until
high water.
A slight rattle on the Wishbone rod 
produced a lovely Dover Sole
to say I was pleased?
Yes indeed what a cracking fish.

Well that was the last of any signs
of life,
except for sea birds.
The weather was warm and sunny
with a north / northeasterly breeze. 
Might escape again on Sunday
maybe Ladye Bay me thinks.
