trip one. 2.4.22
its been about 6 months since last out as have been having a sh** time of it lately, and it doesn't look like it will improve.
was back in hampshire visiting parents & had thrown some gear into the car to maybe catch the midnight tide at lee' instead of heading home to stare at the tele.
arrived about 2200 sea flat calm & clear , light n/e wind, damned cold clear night.
pitched up to find i had forgotten my hat and a hand towel, also found that my head lamp was playing up with low power and red light only plus wont turn off, i only gave it a quick check b4 i left after chucking my cheap spare one away as it looked like it was put away wet back in november and the battery terminals had rusted away.
baits were bluey & squid, looking for maybe a thornie but i didn't really care just needed to be away from my woes for a while. baited up a 3 hook scratchy rig to start with and had knocks before i set up the other rod, first fish of the year- a pin 'ting, no surprise there.
t'other rod was adorned with a pully rig, which later accounted for a couple of doggies.
by 2am the score was 4 pins ad two dogs , i could still see a light up at the arcade and hoped they were doing better than i, there was still plenty of water as 2nd tide hadnt dropped yet but it was bloody freezing and i'd had enough, short sesh' but not much enthusiasm for it lately.
