Fishing

14 November 2009

About 18:00 I had a text message from Octo to say a group of doctors were going to go fishing tonight and did I want to join them. I had nothing else planned so decided to give it a go. About 19:30 eight of us set out for the fishing harbour. Three of them had proper fishing rods and reels the rest had to make do with line wrapped around drinks cans. It took quite a long time to get the gear set up and regularly someone would loose their weights and hooks so like fishing the world over more time was spent sorting out the tackle than actually fishing. It was a very pleasant evening as we had a sea breeze taking some of the heat out of the night. In the end more fish was used as bait than was caught by the anglers but I am not sure having fish for supper is ever the main purpose of leisure angling. We returned home sometime after midnight.
