Taking a break from golf this week and enjoying a fantastic few days fishing in Looe, Cornwall, with six of my best friends.
What a splendid two-day fishing trip it has been:
🎣 Over 75 kg of sea bass caught in a single day, which we were delighted to give to the skipper.
🎣 Plenty of 25–30 lb conger eels landed throughout the trip.
🏆 Two large ling added to the tally.
🦈 Two magnificent 70 lb blue sharks, both safely released back into the sea.
🐬 Dolphins swimming alongside the boat, making for a truly memorable experience.
🥟 A steady supply of cracking Cornish pasties to keep the crew fuelled throughout the trip.
🤢 The two least successful anglers each day had to eat two fermented duck eggs. I am sorry to report that I had the pleasure of sampling them myself… an experience I won’t be rushing to repeat!
Great fishing, great company, plenty of laughs, and memories that will last a lifetime. Sometimes it’s good to swap the golf course for the open water and enjoy everything the Cornish coast has to offer.
Seven mates, two days, plenty of fish, dolphins, sharks, pasties and laughter. Perfect. 🎣🍻🐬🦈
