An Unexpected Turn

 Hi All

Well you didn't have to wait 2 years for this one .

What's been happening ? I hear you ask .Well I have not actually fished since the last blog but have met the guy running the new lake I was going to look at and was invited to join .After having a good luck round I left to mull it over , as ticket didn't start til today so had 2 weeks to review this and it took me that long to finally decide . This may come as a shock to anyone who either knows me or has followed this blog for any length of time but I have decided to stop coarse fishing , this will either be for a year or possibly for good .

So what is the plan ? Well here goes , over the last 3 weeks I have been scanning google earth for possible lure fishing spots , I have found at least 4 more spots to add to the ones I fished last year , here is one spot that was taken at high tide and low tide .



     



And same place at low tide








This spot looks ideal for bass and will be trying it in a few weeks time .

One of the biggest issues is parking as the charges are extortionate , with that in mind we have upgraded our membership to a joint for this fine organisation .


 They masses of car parks in Cornwall and Devon and I will be investigating plenty of them .

I have also joined a local sea angling club and had numerous offers to accompany people on trips , which is a massive help .

Another thing I have done is jump in with both feet and signed up to this .



 This been run in august by local tackle shop , I have no clue how I will get on but aim to enjoy it .





As anyone who lure fishes for bass will know you can get silly with buying new lures and the named companies charge quite a bit so I have taken a punt of a few from Teemu including these .



Not had chance to try them yet but will hopefully be heading next week . I have also been looking into getting a bait fishing set up but thats just in the planning stage .

Other than that the other thing I have got involved in , is going to local football teams games , have been to 6 so far and they have 4 more home games before end of season .

I have been going with my wife but the last home game her shift got changed and I had to go alone , which was something new , as with my anxiety and panic attacks meant I had to get the bus into town which is a major thing but it went ok and I arrived a good hour before kick off and spent time in the clubhouse having a couple of pints of cider with the away fans and watching the game on sky before our game , which was great .


Well I'm going to leave it there for now and hopefully the next one will at least have an actual fishing report even if there's no actual fish caught .

Stay safe everyone and thanks for reading
