First coast trip 2011
I managed to get to the coast last saturday. Finally. The sky was a clear blue and there was a fair wind blowing from the west.
I was supposed to write an assignment, but due to a missed course day, I failed entirely at understanding the task at hand and thus elected to go fishing instead.
The water was clearer than schnapps and/or vodka. I was entirely alone on the coast. Birds were singing and I felt the sun on my face.
I started out with a piggy on the bombarda and fished a stretch of about 300 meters in 30 minutes. Nothing at all. I swapped to the 12g stripper, but lost it to a very stubborn bit of seaweed after 10 minutes and swapped back to a Polar Magnus on the bombarda and fished back the stretch to the car. On my last cast, the line got all tangled and snapped by the fly so I lost that as well.
I did get to try out my new wading jacket and can't understand why I haven't acquired one before now. It's great with the pockets and my new net sits nicely in the loop on the back for just that. Ohh, and the extra handwarming softly lined pockets behind the other pockets. It's magic.
