Snake pit

[Saintly Fish]

So I ventured out in a grey gloomy morning today, solo again because @Andy135 decided work was more important again. 

Wind was supposed to be 12-16mph SE. Which would have been just fine, but instead I had 20 mph E, this made for quite a lumpy Solent. 
I braved it for 4 hours and was kept busy as hell but not with what I wanted. In fact only two species were out playing dogs and snakes. I must have dropped the pick on a snake pit, my tally was 12 dogs and 18 straps. Biggest went 7lb. 

A dog fish.. 

Another dog fish... 

 

And an eel.. 

 

 

That was it, I went back around 11.30am, filled the diesel tank to the brim, then moored up and spent an hour cleaning the winter scum off the boat. Job done!
