 lA
fine run of cod has been reported in Cork this week, And what with the awful
weather we have had in the last two weeks. I thought it best to take advantage
of a lull in the deluge this Friday to take a walk to the beach. fortunately the
beach came to me. Left: Only two small whiting came from this session on the
junction of Washington St and Grand parade. What global warming!
Today as I frequented my local offie, (my
goal a cheap insipid white that I could rely on for heart burn and indigestion)
a once thought to be extinct passenger pidgin landed on my shoulder. After
strangling the bugger I noticed a message tied to its leg. The hand writing
seemed to be familiar and for old times sake I thought I'd repeat it here.
Dear Fishing Guru,
(brings a tear to the eye I know)
Last week I was thrown out of my long stay
re-hab shelter, I felt rather privileged as it was Mary Harney in person who
turfed me out using a heavy wooden club that on reflection could have been used
in a pinch as a sand spike. I lost only one leg after treading on that weever
fish those years ago, so I managed to get away rather smartly with my Conoflex
super splat butt used as a crutch. Actual crutches are only issued now to people
who have lost both legs. That's not strictly true you only get one crutch if you
loose two legs but two if you are unfortunate enough to loose both arms and
legs. There is a head in a jar in my old ward that has three crutches.
My question this week is: will standing on
one leg affect my casting distance, or is there a special style I could
incorporate for the beach.
Yours, east Cork angler.
Dear east Cork angler,
Casting on one leg is always a bind, have
you thought of tying your stump to your tripod thus giving you stability while
always being close to your rod. There is no easy casting style for a bi pod as
far as I know, perhaps a reader might have an insight and let us
know.............. Yours fishing Guru
Till next time Chris......................
