Had the afternoon off so wanted to fish the sand banks off winner (Hayling) but could not be ar*ed to drive round to Hayling and fight with the WAFI'S for launching space so thought I would nip down to Eastney by the ferry and launch & use the ebb flow to get out of the harbour to the banks - WRONG - what a flow ... having fished it from the beach a few time I knew it ran but out there bobbing up and down - there was no way I was risking that so decided to fish Langstone in the deep channels off the main run ...

Faffed around for a while testing out my new mods & improvements on the Yak and decided to tie off to a mooring bouy ... within half hour the ebb was pouring out and being tied off on the edge of the flow - it got really hairy ... the stern started to sink lower and my butt started to twitch - easy undo and paddle off I thought - WRONG - could not untie and was gonna go over ... decided to let go the 99p leash and lived ....

Deffo not worth the risk in this flow so paddled around to the inner beach and landed ...

So pack up and re-launch at Eastney as J had a good session earlier but the call of a Hong Kong Sweet & Sour was just too much ...

Anyway - no fish but here's a photo of my foot ...

Actually you happened to pick a near spring tide which of course made the current flow even worse. Probably a bit better if you go at neaps and try the rise which is always a bit slower than the ebb.
	Eccles. Species: Stickleback,Great Crested Newt, Smooth Newt, Pistazza Newt, Common Frog, Throat Frog, Large Winkle, Cockle,Mussel, Frozen Squid (it came back after I chucked it out), Perch,Bloke next door's ear, Common Tesco Bag, Waitrose Bag (they are rare), Cod, Ling, Bream, Mullet, Pair of old sunglasses, some other bloke's rig who can't tie knots, passing RIB - took 4 hours to reel in.

Launch from the Inn next time I think ...

Nice photo of your foot .....just pleased that we got to see the photo. Sometimes realising that the situation is getting hairy is a good state to be in.....it reminds us of our first mission target - always get home

You certainly aren't alone in getting that feeling.

Safe fishing mate
