Nice to be out there Gary. Well done. Dolphins are an amazing sight - I remember seeing them in the east Wight on a couple of occasions. Magical.
Fingers crossed a new cable solves your engine behaviour. 🤞
What's the transducer? Tripleshot/TotalScan/Active Imaging? And what's the fault? Does the unit not recognise the side/downscan views or does it display them but poorly?
Has he checked all the pins in the cable for corrosion and/or breakages? Any nicks in the cable itself?
Yes, Google earth satellite view for looking for marks. Mostly I stick to sheltered bays on the south coast near Dartmouth or north coast around Padstow.
Well, back again (I'm typing this from the beach) but nothing worth taking. Lots of sandeels, sand smelt and undersized spider crabs though, and spotted a nice ballan wrasse amongst the kelp.
Yes, very pleased. And very lucky too!
I'll be back there again this afternoon to see what else is about. I've seen bass there in the past so let's see.
I need to explore more areas so will look out for a headland mark as you suggest 👍
Come off it. If he were to return you'd be first in line at Heathrow arrivals, waving your "Welcome Home Jon" banner and wearing your best heels and lippy.
