Fishing : The Flip Side

I went fishing again yesterday - and it was a totally different (though no less enjoyable) experience. We went down to our local beach and did some sea fishing from the sand. After an unusually successful catch last time I was prepared for a much smaller catch. And I was right.

I caught nothing, not a fish, not a crab not even a whelk. We'd checked the papers and it said that it was a poor day for fishing - mostly because it was a beautiful day. But I figured that these newspaper guys don't know very much. I won't make that mistake again!

We headed out an hour before high tide - but we didn't even get nibbles. Nick caught a crab - the biggest he'd ever caught but that was the extent of 3 rods and several more drops and hooks.

It was a really nice day though and I didn't mind, I'm going to go back on Saturday with the girls - expect photos. I took Nick's crab back home with me (I've heard he's given crabs to others too heh heh) and showed it to Molly. Judging by the look on her face it was the most terrifying creature she has ever come across...
