So the wind did stop

This might be my last rip of the year as my top tip came off so need a new one (also an excuse to buy a new rod) plus my work hours have been posted and finished with a small dab on a large squid bait. I did start on a pulley pennal but the squid was too small so went on a single hook . I did have some company 2 other anglers and their mate who was very drunk.

My home Venue

Had my 2nd go at my home venue and blanked . I try and take positives but couldn't. the wind was a southerly which didn't help, not a big fan of frozen lugworm unless it's a cocktail (used with another bait eg squid or mackerel) or I'm after dabs or flounders during calmer conditions. At least I wasn't the only one to blank as a guy up from me blanked as well as I found out later on a forum we are members off.
 The tides are on the wrong cycle will have to wait till next week to try again and hope the wind is a westerly?????

Past few weeks

Been busy the past few weeks with work, did get out for a few hours and had a few doggies. Been upgrading my sea fishing gear getting new hooks, swivels and beads so I can make my own rigs up, plus being more organised and tidy. Just had my birthday and bought some fly fishing gear so the trout and salmon should be worried lol, this is a new world opening up to me and I'm looking forward to it. with all the game waters up here it will be fun.

Day at the doggies

After a few weeks of bad weather and work I finally got to do some fishing . With the some big tides this week I got out Thursday High tide was at 13:18 and 8.9m high. Just to get some action I went to Workington Pier after the Dogfish knowing they are about and can be fun and be all day action. I had 5 today biggest being 2lb all on mackerel . When the tide changed it went quiet so I decided to head home happy that I didn't blank . Roll on next week.

An intoduction

Welcome to my little blog. Where I will be keeping you up to date with my fishing trips. Plus the odd walk if it's a good one.
 I have been fishing since I was 5 years old which started on the Cherwell in Oxford and sea fishing in Portsmouth. I moved to Cumbria last year and I'm looking forward to fishing the lakes and rivers up here.
