Fishing Goodrington

During the week I was in Goodrington, Devon, so I decided to try a bit of beach fishing, on Monday I fished for about 2 hours I did not catch any fish I was not alone as none of the few other anglers there caught any fish, I gave up as a cold wind was blowing down the promenade, Tuesday was windy all day so I did not bother to go fishing, by Wednesday the weather had improved, despite fishing the 3 hours up to high tide and the 3 hours after I did not catch any fish though others caught very small pollock, Thursday this time I managed to catch some fish the first was a Ballan Wrasse, I did not take a photo of it and the next fish caught which was a small pollock.

For some reason the Mackerel have not arrived at the venue yet, also none of the fishmongers have has any Mackerel for a number of weeks.

Fish #3 a small pollock

Fish #6 the final fish of the day another small pollock

On getting back to the car I loaded (threw) the fishing gear in the back of the car, when I came to start the car I pressed the start button there was just a click and nothing I retried several times with no results, so I checked the name and location of the car park and called the breakdown service, they wanted to know if any warning lights were showing, so I tried the start button again this time the car started, the breakdown people advised me to do a 30-40 mile run to charge the battery, I did one stop and the car restarted with no problems, the next day I had the same problem but the car eventually started, the car is booked in for it's service and MOT in the near future.
