Cornwall hols

[Marc J]

Just got back from lurverly Corwall, (wish it was west wales! : )

Spent the first night in Porthleven - the surf was up, great view from the hotel room..

Then on to the Lizard (Mullion) for a week..

It was a family outing my parents 2 brothers & associated wives & kids. First trip out of Mullion was with my youngest bro - he managed a mackie, after I took him back I had a pollack..

BBQ'd

Out on my own at Porthoustock - monster wrasse & a couple of pollack..

Out with the middle bro at Porthoustock - probably the funniest thing happened. We were sat minding our own business, when a trawler broadsided (30ft away), some hairy arsed cornish fisherman was takin photo's of us sayin "I've seen everything now, you MUST be hungry" Did he think we were hill billies?? ;D

Anyway, more wrasse & more pollack best about 5lb!! BBQ'd! Definately the best day - though I had a deeply disturbing experience on the last cast. Reeling in a sandeel - got a big hit by something (I thought pollack), only to see a flash of silver a foot down near the yak. That's when I started praying etc and took it much to easy.... :-X, saw it rolling with the hook in the crook of it's mouth 7-8lb bass!! Before it slipped off just before the final landing ooch! Went back to the same place next 2 days - no joy & weather worsening!

Apart from the wrasse & a couple more pollack! ;D

 

Trip out of Porthoustock with me dad was cold wet windy & blanked.

Last launch was at Coverack, in the bay. Struggled to get out as the winds were gale force, it calmed down later. Got this to the boat..
