Friday is only mid size tide so i would of thought would be ok. Don't fish there myself to often but the charters do sometimes, i think mainly on the bigger tides as there will be less tide in the bay. Kayakers were picking up some good cod a from there a few years ago but haven't heard of much lately from them.

Hi Tony

Think i fished with you when you skippered The Enterprise from Portishead? Nice boat by the way

The boat is loaded and been made ready. Forecast is for 0.2m @13secs, with variable F2/F3 winds.

If the sea is good enough, then the first stop will be the 30mile wrecks.

Good luck, looking forward to lots of piccys of bass and pollack

Should be ok tomorrow?

Nice one Josh, how long you down for?

Plenty of tuna coming out to the Plymouth boats

Who did you use? We have an Optimax on ours so always interested to hear about good mechanics

Money wise 10 miles extra travelling in your boat is probably the equivalent of 150 miles in a car. If you really want threshers then i would go east of Plymouth but you only need to steam 20-25 miles.  

What about Falmouth?

Nice one Ian. I am looking to get down in the next 3 weeks as we haven't managed to get down there this year yet

Looks like a fabulous trip, even though a couple of the pic's look like you might have a fish allergy and about to sneeze!!!!!

Was the boat stopped for the shark pic? 

yes the boat was stationary but was a bit sloppy out there

Top dangling @Dicky! That's a lovely bass  from the mouth of the Fowey - I was fishing from the rocks under St Catherine's Castle a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like you had a productive trip - well done 👍

Hi Andy that bass was from a wreck about 7 miles out. To rough out there so took the picture when we came inshore to calmer waters 

Few more piccys 

Just had 5 days down in a wind swept Fowey. Conditions were challenging and w only managed a couple of short sessions offshore wrecking and sharking the rest of the time we were stuck inshore. 2 small blues and a cracking thresher around 200lb plus plenty of pollack and a bass off a couple of wrecks. Lots of other species inshore but no plaice this year. 

Prop bush possibly. Do you have another prop you could try?

Nice result mate, do you anchor the spit in the 2nd pic or drift ?

Who'd have thought the humble Doggie would be so welcome (apart from @Andy135 obviously)

 

Anchor mate, the water there is full of sediment so zero visibility. We don't tend to drift unless we go past Porlock into the clearer water.

In the solent i would use a single whole squid with 2 or 3 black lug elasticated along it fished on a pennel rig with a 5/0 J hook on the bottom and a 4/0 chinu as the top hook. Second choice would be cuttle. Years ago we did quite well on frozen spider peeler.

28th September? well done for winning your comp, but aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself? Geoff.

Well spotted, edited now😄

what about a wrap?

Start Rescue, much better than AA. I've had to use them twice in cars, once before lockdown and once this year, been spot on both times and recovered within an hour at weekends. Got the trooper covered with the AA as Smart have a 7 metre maximum on trailers and have broken down twice without the boat on and taken minimum of 4 hours to be recovered.

Average fishing?? 
looks pretty good to me, a day most would prey for. Well done. 

That was between 4 of us. We did have spells of 30 minutes without a bite which is unusual this time of year
