  1. I was part of a syndicate shoot a few yrs ago and that was pretty much the rule there too We had a couple of guinea fowl that were £40 IIRC Not really hard to miss either, they were like a fat basket ball flying over you
  2. Haven't a clue really, but if the wind is stronger than the tide it won't be easy getting a good drift over the wreck I wouldn't have thought
  3. Will that discount code work multiple times, or is it just unique to you
  4. Have a wreck trip booked on "Spot on" out of Brixham this Sat, small tides but may be a tad too blowwy If the weather plays ball, I shall be slow pitch jigging my little arse off Will also be taking some bait as the last trip produced some very good Whiting on baited muppets/feathers
  5. Bluey is a pretty good bait for Rays, bound together with some dirty squid Although they seem to take anything in the Bristol channel Crab does the business with Smoothies, they will also take squid and fish baits Rag/squid for Bass Black Lug, Blow Lug, Rag, whole dirty squid (or any combination) for Cod The upper BC is coffee coloured, so scent is key
  6. Sounds a great weekend, good news on the bream staying around all winter too, cracking fishing on light gear
  7. Kinell, if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all 😲
  8. I was always digging up old bottles, clay pipes etc from the old Victorian/Edwardian tips near me (also bullets and the odd shell from an old firing range that dates back to the Boer war) 10 yr old me would've pissed my pants at finding that Actually 52 yr old me probably still would EDIT Are you sure it's not a tooth
  9. Yes I agree, I should've stayed on spj all day and persevered given the small tide
  10. No fishing for me for the foreseeable either, daughter no2 has bought a house and has decided the layout of the rooms upstairs need altering Been knocking down black ash blockwork and coming home looking like Al Johnson Busy in work for the next couple of weeks, so no mooching off to go fishing midweek either by the looks Never mind, once she's gone there's just one left to go, but she's dug in like an Alabama tick and unlikely to be flying the nest anytime soon
  11. Out of brixham and we did around 90 miles all told Only around 15 Pollock between the 10 of us some nice whiting came up over slack that fell to baited feathers/muppets
  12. Not the first time, but certainly no expert, more an enthusiastic learner I switched to spj on slack water and for about an hour or so after, there wasn't much coming up apart from pout and whiting on bait at that time When the tide picked up I went back to lures Probably a combination of technique, type of lure, no tide and lack of fish
  13. Yes, it wasn't a disaster by any means (for me at least)
  14. Not much to report, a poor trip with some anglers not getting anything worth taking home I ended the day with 4 Pollock, 2 around 3-4lb, 1 that was 7 maybe 8lb and one around 10-12lb all on a blue and white 6" sidewinder (plus a dozen or more Pout) Tried the spj kit for an hour or so and only picked up a small Whiting, though there were some good 3 and 4lbers came up on baited feathers/muppets over slack Don't know the final tally, but only around 15 Pollock I believe Quite a few of the wrecks we visited were netted, the drawback of small tides I suppose
  15. A decent fish on my spj set up, I'm out of Brixham tomorrow and tides are small so.......
  16. Did I see a certain Mr Farrants inside the March issue of Saltwater boat angling holding up a PB Turbot ?
  17. The reel I bought was LH, can't help much with your rod as I'm a SPJ novice myself and haven't heard/seen a Kanji sorry But I believe, as with all types of fishing, if you fish with a bit of confidence you'll do OK no matter what you use
