Nice one Richi.

 

I fished the Needles and Hurst area today. I got up at 4:15am and launched at 5:15 - it was pitch black - it took a while for my night vision to adjust - I got stuck in some marsh I mistook it for the Keyhaven channel outlet

 

Will stick some pics up later after I have sorted my gear out.

the gps certainly comes in handy!

Thats the problem a GPS like mine will only show you the direction to the next waypoint (which in my case was the outlet to the Solent). At that point I wished I had a chartplotter.

Super job. Apart from the time it sounds like a good time indeed!

 

I went out to the pub in my yak one night during the summer. Coming back in the dark, quickly, I made the mistake of going down the shadowy half (from the moon). I didn't know a tree had come down in the water there.

 

We don't get bream here but I hear the Codling are in, and there were still sole about recently. I will go out sometime after the cod - I'm a couple of miles from pakefield which is supposed to be a good mark (the shore anglers love it).

NIce one Richi. You got the sunrise I got the Sunset. Had a very pleasant session with Overrun. I will let him do the posting bit as he had the camera.

Excellent report Richi and nice Whiting, makes a change for you to have something in the boat that won't take your leg off!
