Boxing Day bash

[Josh]

Hope everyone’s is having a good Christmas, what a weather front we are having for this time of year.

I usually bring the boat home for maintenance this time of year so first spontaneous idea presented to the wife  was to head down Cornwall. after Xmas for 2/3 days especially coinciding with off work and the forecast. Well that proved very difficult with last minute booking accommodation 

as we have two dogs and 1 infant now amazing how many facilities are 

1 pet or no children . Ect . 
 

So plan B was to leave the family at home, collect the boat and to make something of the journey efforts at least go out for half a day get back then spend the rest of the weekend with family.

Christmas dinner and the evening was over, I braved the empty roads solo, the fog was thick all the way there. which was a little unnerving as it seems to get thicker in Cornwall.

arrival silly o’clock and boat launched 

back in the car with heater on to shut eyes for a couple hours, fuel up and see what’s about. There was no heavy rods out today just a grab what’s there session so I headed off shore in search of some winter pollack and just as I begin the drift I look over my shoulder and one , two oh three 

yep buoys nets all over it 👌

I managed one fish there he was a bit battered probably escaped the net

moved On to another mark and found a few decent ones not monsters but very grateful considering the first spot is a banker spot !

 

 

 

 

 

Looe harbour lit up 

 

 

the long slog home and it was hard work on 2 hrs sleep but safe and sound now.

Yea @Saintly Fish solo I’m quite enjoying some solo trips to be honest as much as I really enjoy company 

pisstaking and banter 

It can be a little quiet at times but it’s strangely more straight forward

Yep agreed a nice solo trip can be good for the soul but also makes your mind a bit sharper especially when anchoring and retrieving etc
