Saintly Fish

Blankety blank 🤣🤣

He does have his collar turned up though.

I think he is just trying to fit in. You know, get down wiv da kidz

I will rise above the pointing out of your mistakes @Geoff. Now go back and proof read!

No need for that is there. At least I catch fish. Unlike you Mr. Wogan

After @Andy135 decided that looking after his daughter was more interesting than fishing with me (what's that all about 🤷🏻‍♂️), I decided to head out solo and find the last Solent cod. I set off at 07.45 from Hamble and was greeted by a nice slight sea and a great sunrise. I aimed east and 20 mins later I dropped anchor off browndown beach, a good 13lb cod had been landed from this exact spot just two weeks ago so it was worth a shot. The pout we're home And too were the whiting.... But no cod unfortunately. Also, not one strap was seen today which is weird. Or not as it happens, especially when these two bastards spent the whole day going up and down and up and down hoovering up what was left. And to add insult to injury, the fresh NE breeze decided to liberate my bait bucket complete with my last squid. So the tally was 3 pout and 6 decent whiting which all swam back well. Oh well, still better than working!!

@micknothing is confirmed yet as I'm gushing numbers first. We can book slots and the skipper will advertise any gaps left over. Date is not arranged either but will be between the 18th and 26th February. Most likely wrecking or drifting for turbot if wrecking not doable due to weather. Boat will be Ocean runner out of Poole .

That's fine and understandable, we are hoping that some who are not going on the March trip may wish to jump in? But of course open to all.

Only if you fancy sitting on the hard at MDL ??

As it should be!

You do realise that this is a separate trip to the March one Luke?

Any other members fancy this trip?? Will be a good chance to meet a couple of us and have a laugh. We could do with a couple of others to make it worth while!

Good work that man! A nice session well rewarded with a slab of fish gold!

We started off at East Lepe, then moved to South Brambles.

I have a Daiwa team tdx 20/30, lovely rod with a soft tip and loads of mid power.

F'ing phone 🤬

Will be wrecking for cod and pollock. Or deducting for turbot if the weather is not right for wrecks.

We are looking to run another charter trip in February half term 2022. Anybody interested in joining us in Poole for the trip, please register your interest here. Thanks

@suzook12I have been in contact with the skipper from Poole and he has spaces for the February half term if your still interested?? plus anybody else who would like to go??

Cox and rawl meat hooks!

Sounds like a proper headache for not much reward.

Now there is something I've never seen or heard of. @Andy135 thought he was the master at catching them, youve just re written his rule book.

Is age creeping up on you Ian? Posting on the incorrect thread!

I was hoping that that would get past you! Fucker. Mincing, whatever next. We told you it wasn't THAT kind of trip. I'm so glad for my blank saving whiting, never had it felt so good to catch a mediocre fish. It was a great day and plenty of jokes made about @mike farrants!! Thanks Pugwash.

A couple. Go back to the start and see.
