Me, Smudger and Karl went last Tuesday. It wasn't very inspiring really. It was a lovely day to be out and about and there was a surprising amount of sea on, the remnants from a NW blow up off Scotland. I've asked Karl to write a few words as a change from me, be good to get his perspective on things. I'm looking forward to it, he's the only bloke I know capable of multiple sarcasms. I took a few pics too, so here's a few bites while we wait for the lump to drag his knuckles across the keyboard.

Coastal erosion's nowt to do with the sea. Here's where the wind and rain has made the cliff slide, it's like one of those penny cascades at the amusements.

Smudger had the best fish of the day, a schoolie somewhere between 2.5 and 3lb, a stocky fit fish. There's been a few off Trimingham, they're there all year nowadays.

Piscatorial perfection, a sparkling schoolie for Smudge. Karl had one smaller than this on the day too.

If there's a better looking fish in the sea than the Bass, I've yet to see it. They even bring a grin to Mr Apathy, you should see him when he catches whiting.

Speaking of him catching whiting. A double shot of whiting on a pennel, look at the face it would curdle milk.

Apart from a few size whiting a size dab and the biggest schoolie, everything else was undersize, here's me banging it out as far as I can for mini codling and slugs.

PK wishes he could cast like this, he's sick of fishing further out for feck all!

And here's Smudge highlighting a slug for me, bless him. I don't really mind slugs, its not as if you get loused out by them and there one of the few fish that will oblige in an easterly.

The slug's the brown thing hanging off the hook.

All things being equal I'm out tonight with Pete, down the dreaded North Norfolk shingle. I haven't got high hopes but the company's good and I'd only be watching TV if I didn't, I'll keep you posted.

Just for "anonymous" who requested "more pics of that hunk Karl pleeeease", here's one of him at the last Gay Pride carnival, hope you like it!

Personally I don't think lime green is his colour, its too close to the colour of his eyes.
