Started the day with a lazy wake up. 10am ! Wonderful.
Went for a walk and eagle eye spotted plums…
We have plums for life.
Then we decided to go fish. Those that know me will know I’m cursed with fishing. Always bad luck even when we’ve fished with experts who limit every time we all come home without fish. I genuinely felt like it was a curse.
But we still try.
Fishing is good here. Yesterday a boat nearby came back with a massive long cod his son caught on a piece of cucumber. How hard could it be?
We set out on the tender..
There’s a great spot just a couple of miles from the marina. Right off the island with good ledges around a big rock structure.
You can see the marina top left and Norris rocks on the middle right..
Just off the rocks it’s anything from 200ft to 50ft in quick steps.
We jigged away.
And there was fish immediately. The founder showed marks everywhere and it wasn’t long before we were catching. Overall 4 salmon and 2 rockfish. We let them all go but one decent sized salmon. And that was dinner taken care of.
You can’t get much fresher than that.
Finished the day taking the dog for a walk along the rocks
and then a cruise around the island on the scooter. After making it all the way round there is a trail back to the marina. No motorcycles allowed. But no one was looking….
Fun times.
