Vic and Allan Fishing Knab Rock 17 January 2020

[Mumbles Motor Boat Fishing Cl]

Had a few pleasant hours down the Knab. Got rained upon, hailed upon, poured upon, & frozen in between, but after 7+ weeks shut in it was glorious. I caught 3 small whiting & Allan caught a couple of small whiting a little dab. I found out that my Youngs bib & brace isn't waterproof any longer, & I'm not too sure about my UMAX either I think that is only good for dry cold weather, so it looks like my old Fladen Floaty on Tuesday lol. I never used to suffer from cold extremities but I do now, my feet, fingers, & ears were freezing, it must be a result of the blood thinning medication I have been given that causes that, but it's a small price to pay for what they have done for me. I have noticed that after years of idleness none of my flasks work, they all get hot on the outside which means the seals must have gone allowing the hot liquid to escape to the outside, I will have to get a new one as I intend to do more shore fishing than usual in future.

Fishing in the RAIN


I ache today Saturday 18 January 2020
Seeing as the seats down the Knab were wet, this clever person stood up or leaned againt the railings all afternoon & today I am as stiff as a post. I forget I have spent so much time on my arse & I am paying for it today with stiff legs & a sore back. "You stupid boy Pike" lol Vic.

A few hours at the Knab today with Vic , on his first fishing trip since his Illness. Only small Whiting and a small Dab caught but it was good to get Vic fishing again. I think he will have to devise some more cunning plans for our next trip.

Adrian Faulkner Vic, try heat holders socks. They actually have a tog rating like a quilt. I have a pair from swansea market, brilliant! Pick up some hand warmers think they are on offer in Tesco. It's good to see you back in the swing as they say.
