Out in the surf solo!

Had a short trip out this morning in what at times were very big waves, after a couple of dunking's I managed to catch a few and peel off them before they broke looking back at the video I could have had a few more seconds on them but a bit more experience in the Delphin 155 and expanding my comfort zone a bit more

 

A few pics to share too

Failed Thornback session 24/10/13

Had a quick trip out with the rod for a change this morning hopes were high for a Thornback or two

But after an hour or so of constant Whiting I decided to just have a tour down the coast to Saltburn and have a play around under the pier before eventually finding some small surf to fool around in a few pics to Share but not much in the way of fish

Leaving the rods and reels at home!

Over the past few months the fishing has taken a back seat as I have been putting in the hours getting to grips with my Sit Inside Kayak A P&H Delphin 155

After an exciting trip to Filey Brigg joined by Ken Oliver and Dave Adamson myself and Mark were shown what can be achieved with some skill and confidence in the surf, I was still finding my feet in the Delphin so didn't throw myself into the challenging stuff as much as I should but still managed a face full of shingle and bubbles

There was a big northerly sea running and we could get close to the dangerous water whilst sheltering behind Filey Brigg which was awesome with big swells hitting the brigg and smashing spray high into the air with the odd wall of white water making it over to play in also managed a few more practiced recues with Ken really enjoy this sort of thing with Ken and also some tips on bracing which I’ve managed to build on over the last few sessions

All of this gave me the confidence to go out solo even in some quite challenging conditions lately however Mark has joined me on most trips out but managed to stay upright without incident so far
