Yesterday morning was wet and dark, and Brenda had the car.

 

Then around lunchtime it brightened a little.

 

I was fed up with being indoors, and with a high tide just before 4 pm, I grabbed some squid from the freezer and walked down to the Medway estuary.

 

It was a brilliant time to be out of doors, the winter sunlight bringing out the colour of the berries and some remaining leaves, waxwings amongst the bushes, and the marshy mud crawling with every kind of wading bird and waterfowl imagineable.

 

Being a shallow estuarine beach, I didn't expect to catch much (the deeper marks further up river usually have plenty of pout and pin whiting, with the chance of a bass or even the odd codling).

 

And I didn't

 

But I did get plenty of bites!

 

I guess that my 'whiting' hooks were too big for anything out there.

 

I keep forgetting how much things have changed, and still expect to catch on the kind of tackle that I caught on years ago!

 

The wind strengthened and grew noticeably colder, and I gave up before high water, with my teeth chattering.

 

Still I was glad to get out there

The point about 50 yrds off Sharp's Green was giving up loads of tiny bass in the summer. My son went there weekly for about 10 weeks and was

never disappointed. Needless to say, they were all returned. He is still looking for his first mullet, though. He says he saw a few in August around the broken ground at the far end of the Country Park by the old gun emplacement. Sadly, I haven't been able to get out fishing when I visit Gillingham, but that will be put right next year.

Pagh - that's nothing. We had to walk 4 miles as well, often thru snow that was arse deep on a giraffe, and it was up hill both ways. Snow was good though since it meant the bears and the snakes had gone into hibernation for the winter.

unfortunatley mum makes me walk to my bus stop (3/4 of a mile long walk) in all weathers aswell. i mean i can only cope with so much cold gale force winds, rain, sleet, and snow im only a kid, even worse i have to take out wheely bin down our track lane which is around 1/4 of a mile long and i also have to take it up im just glad she doesnt expect me to walk the dogs in bad weather aswell!!!!!!!
