Had a short trip Wednesday morning on Kingfisher from Minehead mainly to get the kids out. It was a breezy grey day but the fish were biting from start to finish. First fish was a blonde to Jack then it was constant action with around 20 hounds between the 6 of us, a few thornbacks and dogs, strap eels and lots of baby tope. Great mornings fishing

Guy in our club has a pirate 21 with a cabin and a 115 honda on the back, cruises at 20 knots with no fuss.

It was probably only around 6lb but did pull back a little

We were there crabbing on Tuesday, down past the ferry. My 2 kids had over 30 crabs in about an hour, good size too. Quick wander around the quay then over to Brixham for chips from the Rio before another hour crabbing in the inner harbour which produced another 20 plus. Kids loved it and we ended up going to Watchet on Wednesday for another go. Over 60 there but very small in comparison.

Nice size ray, did it have an abnormality on the tail or is it truck photography?
Trick photography, but i did notice as i was returning it a lump by it's left eye. It felt soft as if full f puss an was unsure whether to burst it or not so left it alone

Where do you go out from fishybuisness?

it wasn't to bad at all, steamed down at around 16-18 knts. Flattened off lovely and made 20 plus knts against the tide all the way back. Bit more confused around Berry Head.

Last week I had a shark trip out of Neyland West Wales on White Waters. The weather was fantastic with just enough breeze to get a decent drift but flat enough to fly out there at 20+ knots. The fishing was slow with just 4 runs, 2 fish to the boat and 2 shaking the hooks. The bottom fishing was slow as well with whiting hard won. Plenty of trawlers out there, stacks of dolphins and sea birds.Biggest blue went 90-100 lb I had the other around 60lb.
We also picked up a piece of trawl net on one of the outboards but luckily Andy felt it hit and killed the engines straight away. Quick lift up of the leg and it unraveled fairly easily
Yesterday I spent the day on the skerries fishing light for plaice on our own boat. We had 25-30 plaice between the 3 of us plus grey and red gurnards, a dab and a small blonde. Biggest plaice went to my brother at 2lb 1oz

Years ago (35ish) when we fished charters out of West Bay, Dorset, we used to tow feathers behind the boat on the way out to the mark. We would have been travelling at around 4 knts with at least a pound of lead but we always caught enough on the way out to last the day for bait.

Nice to see another young rod enjoying the fishing. Thanks for sharing Dicky, some nice fish fun had by the looks of things. Did Jack win anything in the comp?
All the juniors get a prize in our comps but unfortunately he didn't make the top 3.

Nice one sounds like a good day. You were lucky you left that early as M5 had only just shut. Traffic was at a standstill by 9am through Burnham down to Bridgewater and beyond, took me 1 1/4 hours to do about 6 miles.
