Another crew that were on their third attempt to get out.  The crew were all from Woodfords in Fordingbridge and mostly hadn't fished before although I did meet fly fishing guide Ollie who certainly took to this entirely different style of fishing pretty quickly.  I decided to run a little comp to keep the guys interested and they split into teams of two with one scratching rod and one Cod rod each.  The Pout, Dogs and Whiting were obliging throughout the day although the Cod were not…still with dozens of fishes caught, lots of laughs and plenty of tea. The day was a resounding success and we’ve planned a re-match for the Spring when the Bream get going.
