2025 - What I did today

Not gardening related,but my new- to -me,, sea fishing planning! I now have all the gear but needed to have bait to hand for a last minute foray whenever I go. To this end I have 'salted' mackeral fillets, mussels and pigs liver for a couple of days Today I bagged it up into ziplock bags and later I will be using my new baiting needles to make up some ready made cocktails ready to just slip on the hook when requierd.  I need to egt a move on as the trout season starts on 22nd March where I will be engrossed with freshwater fly fishing,which is a completely different sport!

How far away is the sea you hope to fish in Vinny?

I hope to fish at one of my old haunts on the North Sea at Blyth Harbour which is about 30 miles away. I haen't seen my newest granchild yet and she must be a month old by now? My Son and family live at Blyth so I will kill two birds with one stone. I must admit I don't like the name they have given her as Ellle May always reminds me of the Clampets!
I put off last weekend because of snow, and this weekend is forecast for high winds in the area so I need to put it off again.Hopefully next weekend I'll get to see her and take Kato on his first fishing trip.
