Tough day...

Out today to a foggy, windy and rainy start. Mind you the sun came out later and helped a bit. The water was rough, very rough and full of weed, but I kept on and after about two hours I hooked what felt like a good fish...lots of head shaking and POP! The lure came out.....gutted! After a lot of talking to myself and cursing I fished on and later put on a weed less rigged slugo to try to escape the weed. After a few minutes a good bang on the rod and a bend as the fish turned....and POP! No proper hook up...this was not going to be my day! Later still a school Bass burst out of the water completely missing the hard lure I put on...I laughed...this is a sign! Fished on for another hour or more, with no more fish. Gannets were diving a lot and very close in... but the sea was going gaga now...till next time...that's fishing!
