New angle of attack........

Finally taken the plunge and purchased a yak!



Maiden voyage out of Burry Port in a 7.8m tide and strong Sou Easterly wind - well happy with the kayaks performance and the fact I didn't get dunked!

Those fish are in big trouble now!

Car in the garage in Kilgetty today, so with 3/4hr to spare had a quick bash at mini's at Hobbs.  Couple of rock gobies and black gobies about - nothing else though except for 'uber active crabs!!!

Highlight if the day though was Riley reeling in his 1st ever fish (a rock goby)!  1 year and 337 days old!!  :-)
