South West Friday night catch report

[John Mitchell]

What a wet night , I have had my 18year old nephew asking me to take him fishing , his experience so far has been a bit of float fishing and feathering this summer using a 6.6ft spinning rod .
so I took him and his granddad my brother in law out last night in that horrendous wet weather , I had got the bait etc so i knew a spot out of the worst of the wind .Ben (the nephew ) was into the first fish of the night a little pout , then he had another and me and Colin were now bystanders . Now Ben was baiting up himself and casting himself after a few instructions from me .Then it was my turn to start catching fish , whiting about half a pound came in quite regularly in the evening , and we all had pout , then the bass turned up and we all had bass , I also had a gilthead about a pound ,Colin had now started to bait up and cast out himself so I had a bit more time to fish myself , so after using up £25 of worms it was time to go home . We had used all my gear so all that has to sorted out today now .

Cheers guys , I was pleased to get the gilthead I am always happy to see them , and the youngster has been asking me for a while to take him out , and the rain was heaving down for over a hour, but we had the right gear on .I was just pleased to see him catch some fish .

Well done John ................. it was a foul evening , but you caught a few between all of you, which makes it worthwhile ..............I bet you are missing fishing with 'one worm banyan' ...........................

I am waiting for the weather to improve, so I can get out on the wrecks .........................................
