Finally, at the age of 40, I am fishing afloat in my own boat.

Well, it’s not exactly a grand vessel, my little Chinese made Hifei HSD 270. And the 4 Hp Johnson Sea Horse motor that pushes it about on the waters was made the year my wife was born. But the boat floats and the screws are turning so at this point I ain’t complaining.

The boat has a wood deck, so I am not to worried about sharp hooks landing there. And I use a plastic tub as my de-hooking area aboard. Rod holders and perhaps a cheap fish finder will eventually find their way into the boat as well. But for now I am having far to much fun farting around my local area trying some well known marks.

I’ve been fishing it in my local waters. That is the part of the sea I can see from my living room windows. So far there  just been a few cod and a baby cusk. But the winds have not been in my favour either, making for some quite choppy seas. The little 8 foot dinghy is braving it a lot better than I am. And so far I have been impressed how good it takes the seas.

Here are some pictures:
