Man versus Fish - round two

Amazing. Not a cloud in the sky to start the day, but the first shower had kicked in by 10 and they continue all day. Too windy for fly fishing from the shore but not for spinning. This time I caught a pike, a tiny specimen by pike standards at 18", but my first ever. Man 1 - Fish 1.  There are a pair of rare white tailed eagles on Bushy Island which is just off shore from where we are pitched. I spotted them with binoculars this afternoon but they are too far away for a decent photo.

A couple of trout fisherman walk past our pitch on their way from the boats to the caravans. They are drenched, this is not my sort of fishing. An Irishman on a small (25ft'ish) sailing boat boat in the sites small 'marina' caught an eel - definitely not Rosemarys sort of fish!
