Beer self drives

It's back to doing the blog tonight, Judith reckons she has shown me the way and I can build on what she has shown me.
So armed with a pound of rag, a box of squid and Judith three mackerel from the night before we were soon on the beach in beer looking for Simon to sort the boat out, same boat as last time, called endeavour, a 14 ft clunker built wooden thing, ideal fishing platform , especially for today as there was little or no wind forecast, we fancied anchoring up for a bit of bottom fishing, Simon gave us a few marks to try, which meant lining up with a white house on the shore and various rocks along the headland, it didn't take to long to get to the first mark, it took a bit longer to get a bite, and surprise surprise it went to Judith, and we soon had a nice ballan wrasse of perhaps three pound in the boat, so well done to her it was a nice fish which put up a good fight on the spinning outfits were using mainly.today.

As you can tell, I had one just after and it was nowhere near the same size, she wasn't floating yet, just giving me those sideways glances and knowing smile most women do really well.
After an hour and with no more bites, it was up anchor and fate another 5 minutes chugging we were just o it past beer head, in a bit more depth , we were soon getting bites from doggies, which to be honest was good fun on light gear, then Judith , yes Judith, connected with something more spirited, which turned out to be 5lb + smoothhound, well done I said through gritted teeth.
 Then to make matters worse she goes and gets a nice little black bream, just about to small to keep, at least that's what I told her.
I had a couple more doggies then it went quiet again, so another move again well out beyond the head, it turned out to be our most productive spot with Judith getting two more bream, one of which we kept for her mum, all I could get were dogs , but it was better than nothing, we were getting quite a few rattles which I thought were most probably from bream, but they were hard to connect with, I did eventually get one which may just have pushed 2lb , so at least my mum won't be hungry.
Then after that it was back to doggies, but all in all it was a very enjoyable day out, and Judith even managed to wrestle with some of her dogs to retrieve the hooks.
Last day of our holiday today as we had Friday to Friday in the apartment, so what better way than to have a lovely day afloat , with stunning coastal scenery as a back drop with somebody I am really fortunate to be spending my days with.
And she ain't to bad at this boat fishing lark as she used come with me all the time years ago before the kids, and she would regularly out fish most on the boat, must be the feramones.
Anyone fancying a go at this down on beer  give Simon a ring on 07773923120, its really good fun with some good fishing for a variety of species without having to steam for hours, 5star.
