Appledore - Shannies and Summerlands

A change of tact is needed because I've had quite a few blennies attack the lure in the rockpools however I've not managed to hook-up yet. The weather is all over the shop at the moment with more bad than good so a beach day that was planned is now going to be tomorrow and we are not going to a meet up with my brother Chris instead.

Summerlands Tackle in Westward Ho !! has everything you need for sea fishing and coarse fishing so I'm going to nip in there to get some small hooks and some BB shot so I rig up something more suited to the quarry. I'd have banked far more fish by now if I had. 

They are extremely shy and aggressive at the same time but drop that lure in their hiding place they cannot resist but try and grab it in a split second. I've been really enjoying rock pooling it of late despite the drizzle because I've not got much more choice to get that fishing fix.

I will have another go for bass hopefully but I'm not sure the beach casting for smooth hounds is going to happen. 

So this mornings hour and a half was a blank, however on a more positive note, after meeting my brother we've dinner in the Beaver later and some live folk music at the Champ straight after, the fishing may be pants but better than working isn't it ?

Looe was seagull central with the noisy birds making a racket literally all day and early morning, here though was eerily quiet but the sounds of the tide going out was very therapeutic indeed.
