South West Too rough to fish

[John Mitchell]

You need to man up John, had bigger swells in my bath

That’s just from your farts

Looks bassy John!

Maybe a heavy metal might have worked?

But if you felt unsafe where you were, there’s no point risking it.
I hate to do it but a couple of times I’ve had to abort sessions or pack up early when conditions are too bad, sometimes you have no choice.

I was using a 30gm seeker that should be plenty , I even used a deep diver and that wouldn’t go down , and a sp had no chance

Wrong spieces mate that is a sheep , being a valley boy you should know that ???

My mistake, I just assumed it was goats that you sacrifice down down there

That’s only an ounce of weight though? Probably really want 2 or 3 when it’s like that?

 

[Mr Fish]

Or 4….

Yes maybe you are right , but using a lure rod with casting weight 10-30gm that’s the biggest weight I can use , anything heavier than that is hard work

We don’t sacrifice goats in south Devon you are getting us mixed up with north Devon ??

Like I said in my last post ,you had the right idea walking away mate,but when I go lure fishing I always take 2 rods ,1 up to a 20ish g weight,& one up to at least 50g,that way I know I can fish.I know it's more to carry but sometimes it's worth it

Odd session all round that one!

We have to travel light on the south Devon coast long walk big cliffs and bigger rocks

Good try John, and you did the right thing by turning tail & heading home. Looks bloody rough, and if it's where I think you were, not an easy place to get to and then find out you're faced with those conditions. Better a blank & safely home. ??

Unlucky mate ??
