Hi Folks,
Been a while since I updated this blog, mainly because I got back into sea fishing and have spent the last few weeks getting up to speed again 
Had a few good trips so far, you can keep up with my sea fishing at http://sea-fishing.trikky2.com/

Now, as anyone that knows me will tell you, I do like motorbikes, especially ones that go fast or are a bit different. I’ve just come across my ideal bike.
It’s a reproduction by Neiman Marcus of Dodge’s concept bike and was offered for sale in their 2003 Christmas Catalogue. The stats are just staggering :
8.3 litre engine
10 cylinders
Maximum speed of nearly 400MPH
Weight 1500lb
0 – 60 MPH in 2.5 seconds.
Price : $250,000 to $700,000
Just one question …. Why make the handle bars look like they were taken off a 60′s Vespa ?

Hi Folks,
Just back from Brighton Marina East Arm.
Stopped off at the Tackle Box to get some bits and pieces … and bait. Spent £225.00, great place, friendly staff. Could easily have spent another hour or two chatting but eager to wet a line for the first time in around 7 years 
Started fishing around 17.15 with high tide due around an hour later. The cloud had rolled in since the morning but the wind seemed a bit lighter than the last few days and still from the SW ish. Sea was not very violent, just a few white horses and fairly heavily coloured.
Only using one rod but fished black lug at various distances from peg 11 on a two hook flapper, caught nowt but bait well ‘nibbled’ when about 20m out. There were a few others around, had a nice chat with most of them and the only catch was a small Dover Sole from about peg 19.
There were a few drops of rain which did not bother me but got a phone call from better half that she was finishing work early so packed it in around 19.15 …. Lost my rig on the final reel in.
So … Spent a lot of money, got rained on, lost a rig, caught nothing … But still had a great time and have a smile on my face 
Big question ….. Why did I leave it so long ?

I must admit it has been a few years since I last went fishing but have just dug out my old gear and am cleaning it up. My Penn Viper rod is fine ( but missing one ring centre ) and the Mag 525 reel has been bullied back into life.
I found 3 head torches, after a bit of cleaning I’ve got them working … However they are all of the bulb type ( that should give you an idea of how long it’s been ), but I have a few high intensity LEDs lurking around so might try and convert one.
Had a wander down the beach this morning around low tide :
Not much weed around and quite coloured water, could be worth chucking a line for Bass. Was hoping to get a nice sunny day with flat seas so I could do some Mackerel bashing for bait.
