Following my relatively successful trip to Trimingham with Nobby and Karl, me, PK, Johnny and Steve ventured down to Trimingham last Monday for a dabble. There was still some sea on but the swell had eased considerably and though I thought we'd catch, the weed turned up to put paid to having a proper go. Johnny managed some undersize codling as did me, Steve and Paul. I had the only sizeable codling, one between 1.5 and 2lb whilst Paul had some good whiting on the ebb. A bit of a disappointing session thanks to the amount of weed, it was also noticeable there wasn't a fraction of the tide we'd had on my previous, more succesful session.

More mundane things have taken over since then. I've helped a mate fit a kitchen, painted my utility and fitted some new skirting etc. It looks nice and hopefully I've scored some brownie points with Mrs Aitch. Things generally don't look like improving in the near future and the weather's certainly not helping matters. Now back at work and only able to fit sessions around shifts I'll have to go when I can, though I'm hardly enthused to go. Catches have improved down south of the region but even these seem hit and miss, I think I'll earn some more brownie points and wait for things to improve, they usually do over the next week or so. My usual partners in crime are otherwise tied up too, Karl is working and has courses to fit around work, Smudge may be out and about this week and I know PK went with Actionboy to Benacre today (19/2) before Actionboy's up and coming tour of duty. Good luck to Actionboy, he's going away until October, here's hoping he comes back safe and sound and hasn't lost his irrepressible enthusiasm!
