Food For Free

Anyone like a bit of foraging ? Finding your own food ?

Or catching it ?


This week I took Dave fishing, he's just starting and he wanted to catch a few fish and learn how to prep them.



We went through some basic stuff, reliable knots, how to cast, habits of various species and tides. If you're a complete beginner fishing can be a bit of a mine field, there are so many variables. 

We caught plenty and I showed him how to gut, skin and fillet and now he has fresh fish for tea.

Happy days.
