got up at 5 am yesterday and set off to st abbs,with boat and crew in tow. forecast was good not a breath of wind. had a steady drive up (2 hours) but when we got there. would you believe it there's a10foot swell still rolling in just [bANNED TEXT] you need when you've only got a 18foot pebble. needles to say we were sick as fook. so tails between our legs set off back down to eymouth for a bit grub before we headed home.

when we got there people were spinning off the dock side so we decided to give it a go.this is when our luck changed for the better my gear had been in the water no more than one minute when someone starts shouting from the other side of the dock. "[bANNED TEXT] you lads doing you'll end up dead if you go out in that boat today"so as you do we had a bit crack over the dock. [bANNED TEXT] a stroke of luck the skipper says" lads we out for the day you may as well come out with us". that was it we didn't need a second invite, like shit off a hot poker we were over the other side and away we went. the skipper says lads none you get sea sick is there cos once were out I'm not coming back, all 3 of us gives it "no!"at the same time. BET YOU CAN SEE WERE THIS IS GOING :11: gets out there fishing for about40mins and there he goes, cotter (aka the blackhall bugle),had gone quiet. another 20 Min's and :sick: green as grass.

had a job getting the bottom for mackerel and when you did it was only slack. think there was only 3 ling and 1 cod of a decent size. got back about 5.30 in "the contented sole" bit grub and away home. a good day saved by the lads on "the perfect storm"

Good read and if I had a quid for everyone who ever told me"Nah mate,I NEVER get sea sick"then threw up a pavement pizza :sick: at the first hint of a swell then I would be f***ing loaded
