Ryder Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi Raiders, Its been a while since I had anything to report. Surgery for a double hernia ( times 3 turned out ) kept me from fishing for about 3 months. I was off work for 6 weeks, March and April, then another 6 weeks with no heavy lifting, so light duties. I managed to scrounge some weed off the ocean rocks and gave the vintage Slazenger 5A DeLuxe to my nephew, and we got a couple of blackfish at Chiswick last weekend. I went solo today to the harbour rocks near Fairlight. Got nothing at the first spot, moved . Nothing at the second, moved again. The third produced a few. I watched a seal tear apart a Salmon. Beautiful Darter and Cormorants drying their wings. Magic. I kept 2 for the smoker. Both full of roe. Last week they were all male. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welster Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) That’s a nice feed there. Waiting for the clearance after a hernia operation is frustrating. Edited August 4, 2019 by Welster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Enjoyed your report and it got me thinking of the couple of times where you have taken me under your wing for a spot of Blackfishing. In particular, the time when the old Chinese lady produced a couple of large plastic bags to keep the rain off us. Quickly fashioned into Saville Row wet weather gear we kept fishing and caught quite a few between us. Would be great to do that again sometime. Cheers mate. Hope you fully mend and continue with your work AND favourite pastime. Cheers to a top bloke. bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
