Exmouth

Okay, so it's been a while. We know this and we repent. With that said, though, we're still going to keep this one ever so short. Sorry, but it's a taster.

This past Saturday we went to Exmouth. It's right below us as the crow flies, though it's also on the bottom coast of the island. The reason for our going is because, frankly, I wanted to fish for sea bass, which we can't do by Bristol (the wretched Severn river dumps too much mud in the water). So we went south. It's our new playground, as Exmouth offers a cute little sea town, trails, and fishing. You'll notice Andie's not in any of the pictures. This is because she was busy working on engineering stuff. She said she'd rather come along and work outside. So work she did while I brought home the bacon, or sea bass as it were.

Exmouth coast.

More coast.

Also coast.

My first sea bass! I got the little bugger out on a rocky finger at low tide. He was in shallow water feeding on crabs. After looking thoroughly professional and untangling an enormous line-mess made by the wind, I cast one of my new sea flies and--wham! Sea bass are supposed to be really good eating, so we're excited to try!
