It’s been a long time since I’ve managed to get out on the
bank or beach. So long that when we recently moved house my rod tubes and
holdall’s had developed elaborate spider’s web decorations. My seat box had
been yet again ravaged by mice (they seem to like the foam), and I found what
looked like a hibernating hornet nestled in between my landing net and keepnet
bags. This didn’t make the journey to the new house... I hate Wasps and
Hornets. Bees can crack on, Wasps and their even angrier cousins. No thanks.
It’s been a crazy busy few months; house moving eats time… and money. But now
slowly the dust is beginning to settle and I found I had the chance to get out
for an early morning session on Portland. My wife, the little’un and I had been
down there on Easter weekend, and the ledges screamed fish. So I had to get
down there and give them a bash.
