I'm not sure whether the sea angler featured in this image was successful or not, perhaps like me with my camera, he was content to enjoy the moment and hope that a big one would come along soon! I cannot comment on the rig as my experience of sea fishing only ever involved a line and hook lowered over the side of the the cargo ship I was on in the 1960's attempting to catch the fish that were attracted by the gangway lights when we were anchored in Ports such as Gan Island in the Seychelles and Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. I never caught anything. The pleasure to me then and I suspect for true anglers everywhere is always the anticipation of the catch. The image was captured in May 2023 from a position on the moat wall of Calshot Castle looking out across the Solent Southampton.
