Report on-board Why Worry
An early start today.Leaving the marina a little after 04.30am it was certainly a glorious morning and this time of the year,I consider it to really be the best part of the day.

Only the 3 of us today as one couldn't make it due to a family problem and one was a 'No Show'.It was a busy old day really.The Mackerel seemed scarce today.No idea why,it just seems to vary from day to day.We got enough for what we wanted anyway.
We put the Hook down where we should of done it yesterday.I always think it helps to go with the banker mark rather than where you think they 'May' be.
From the off we was into Hounds.Not big fish,the biggest around 10lb but plenty of them and it kept the rods nodding.....Along with the weed.
Brian had never been Hound fishing or indeed used Hermits.I think he is now hooked lol
Dan caught well and of course,had to go and spoil it by catching a roker! I think I had one too at one stage lol
At low water I gave the option of what they wanted to do. We decided to go off south a couple of miles and see if we could find a bigger Bass, rather than going up and into the sands for more Hounds on the flood tide. I set the hook in about 14ft of water.I like it here.The water swirls and rushes over a rock hard lumpy bottom.I know Andy likes it here because he has had 3 Double figure Bass with me from this spot. You seem to either get the big ones here or none at all. Today the Bass never wanted to know.The Hounds were playing here though and they go off like Exocet Missiles once they get any inclination things are not right in there crub munching and noshing world lol
Not big fish 6-8lb fish but they fight like Demons here and are great fun to catch at this spot.
All in all another Glorious day with plenty of fish to keep the interest and of course it was Hot,Hot,Hot again!
Day off tomorrow as I need to to do a few bits and to try too grown some new skin on my hands after 4 days on the trot Hound fishing,but out again Friday,Saturday and Sunday.
