Oh Duck


First duck of the season, popped-up single grain of fake corn over a fizzy green groundbait. Tricky swim, had to net him to unhook him. So technically worse than a blank! (Photo from Wikipedia).

  1. Seagulls are so much more fun. A cross between fishing and flying a kite.

    1. I caught one on a lure in Falmouth years ago, and he'd managed to swallow it - my friend had his welding gloves which helped to pin it down - still a nightmare!

  2. Nice one Brian.
    Hooked and landed a tuftie earlier this year too. Not much of a fight compared to, say, a bream but a touch more exciting than a plastic bag.
