The Curse Is Broken

The sole curse that is. Not caught one since 1978, when I was 14, on Clacton Pier. Me and Turdy went to Aldeburgh last week on a muggy, windless evening hoping to change that.
First cast and I'd got one, not very big, but a sole nevertheless. Next cast a hideous eel that had garroted itself on the main line and came in dead.
We ended up with whiting, pout and a couple of soles and lots of mozzie bites. Not a bad night.

Early Friday morning I had a quick hour down the river and in very windy conditions managed five bass to 2,5lb. The first bass for a while and very welcome.

A very early start Saturday and me and Lord Conc hit the shingle in North Norfolk, hoping for mackeral. A blank two hours and things weren't looking good. We eventually started to catch a few and ended up with just over a dozen plus a good number of launce.
Interesting day in the sun, topped off by a pig out in "Picnic Fayre" in Cley. We admired their impressive fruit and veg display and walked inside and ordered pies and cakes.


Where is The Whittler ? He's not been seen for a few months and we are concerned for the welfare of this simpleton.. If you see him please ring social services.
