yea yea yea(no beetles were harmed), ALL MY OWN FAULT AND SELF INFLICTED. or so the wife says!. Up early yesterday, body heat and a panting hound at home wanting out ! oh joy so by my standards , up with the lark (ya know before 9.30am 🙂 ) pottered about n got ready for last home game /last game of the season at the amex with Brighton having a fairly decent chance at Euro footy next season if results went their way.

Well, with the results BTN scraped 8th and a spot in the euro conference league next season while man u actually looked good bopping in 3 while BTN failed too score, barely had any shots yet alone on target and probably played their second worst home game I have seen in a couple of years, OMG what a lack lustre shit show A toothless starting line up followed by well over late substitutions that were no better than the planks coming off the pitch.. still man u fans should be happy, Brighton made em look somewhat decent while underperforming themselves.

And so, having bellowed my lungs out cussing just about every villain on the pitch (yep ref included) we headed home knackered from the heat and frustrated at the way the game went but with the crap came a glimmer of light with the euro qualification… sadly Spurs managed too survive and escaped relegation also, thus even them failed too put a shine on the footy day !.

Any hoo, was home by 7pm and was still very warm out and heard a whisper that the walls were still busy so figured get the quad out and head down onto the walls and perhaps cool the head if not the body off. Now at this point I will give u all a heads up,if you are here for a catch report, scroll down until ya reach the line that says , “until the next one I will bid you all” coz as far as fish are concerned I dont have a lot to say today!(other than waffle).

Quad out, pointed down the hill and enjoyed the feel of cooler air on my face as I rolled down the hill onto the west which was quite busy, part daytime ppl still there and part quite a lot arriving for an evening/night session as things tried too cool down. Loads of chats, some advice asked for etc, standard gossip for me but I failed too hear of any catches and the night dude hadnt been there very long so was no wiser than me.. I did take a short trip over too the east but again a similar story of no catches but many I spoke too had been fairly recent arrived and so again I failed too get any info other that a repeated comment of ” bloody crabs” so it was a fairly short run about. Back on the west more arrivals were keeping the night dude Ali so about half 8, checked in with MARK and offered too shut the east down as I was already on the marina, offer was well received n so back over I went too wind things down and get the gate shut for 9pm prior too the light going.

Now I do get how people like too fish in the late evening but is important we get the walls closed at the appropriate times. Our agreement with the marina and its resident is that we have the wall closed by nine pm so please note, 9pm isn’t the time too pack up, 8.30 is better as you need too be off the wall by 9, so please help us , please pack in plenty of time too get off the wall with any litter you have. It helps us comply with marina conditions and does benefit anglers in having access too the east wall longer if any “special events” can be arranged.
TY
Once east was locked down a fairly shore roll back onto the west for a while as the light finally was fading. A quick check around and a check in with Ali and headed for home close too 10pm. Was, by my standards a heck of a long day too then be woken this morning by some very noisy bin men doing the rounds at 8this morning. Nope Iwouldnt want that job hauling bins on a bank holiday morning that was already heating up.
This heat may be nice but boy is it knackering.

I will finish with a word of safety re the heat out there.
if ya planning a visit too the marina or anywhere else out in the sun and haven’t already brought extra water water with you, please please find somewhere too top up its gonna be an absolute body burner out on the concrete with nowhere too hide on the east wall and very minimal shade on the west. Enjoy the weather but please stay safe.
And thus we get too the last line for today and until the next one I will big you all ADIEU
