17/8/11 A New Specie...#5

 Not that much to report on the fishing front with this trip. It was a short one, being in between my night shifts and basically I stuck it out on the #5 in search of bass but found it quite difficult to even find mackerel bait.
 I picked up a few, along with a new specie for me in the shape of scad or horse mackerel but, apart from losing something sizable on a mackerel head, highlight of the trip was finding the coaster 'Mungo' stranded on the training wall at the river entrance when I came home. Quite a sight. She'd passed my stern earlier in the day whilst making her way to port.
Apparently she'd lost her steering!!  Fortunately and rather amazingly, no real damage was done to either boat, or wall and she was safely floated off on the next tide and put in at Shoreham to unload.

  1. I would have loved to have seen that! Bored in Denmark, no fishing for 3 weeks now!! one more week to go then a drive from here to Paris before coming home and going straight out with a fishing rod! Reading this in the public libary where I've discovered fre internet but they're only open 11-6pm which are the best working times.
