does the anti-foul layers on boat get thicker and thicker every year,adding more weight .

if you use self-eroding would that not save you having to remove old a/f .

Well I thought it was funny

Do many people use them? I've seen and read of them being used for many types of fishing - sharking, cod, conger, ling etc. Curious to hear whether those who use them notice an improvement in catches/catch rates. Or are they more for catching anglers?

Disclaimer - I have a couple of packs of them in various colours, but I have yet to use them in anger. Thoughts?

   i`ve got some as well, I haven`t used mine either.😔

just use a fixed spool,stop f*cking about.

nice looking fish.

well done getting out , nice pics,2nd to last is best ,can`t beat a nice mincepie.

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!! 

 

 

Hope you informed the coastguard about the danger of floating debris 🙄

well done on catching.

give me some details might be interested.

nice looking fish.

Sorry but i used to live in Portswood years ago.

being in Soton have you spoken to HMRC, they should have info on what they will allow into UK.

I didn't realise this was a thing. I thought they just got dumped and burned out on the local council estate!

only round your way

But it`s not a marine fridge door that`s why its cheaper,😄

I hate when you get charged more coz it`s got a picture of a boat on the box.

Always found them fiddly ,I just use normal lead links for my lure fishing.

Thump who? Odyssey? Seems a bit harsh but if you think it will help….

not Odyssey,the prat who`s stalking  him.🙄

There is a Guest user from Cardiff who we can see looking at Odyssey's profile and all his posts. Odyssey knows who it is, and it's a shame they can't just let him live his own life, but instead trawl the internet to find information to use against him in the real world.

can you not ban guests,

Odyssey seems a nice bloke,

just go round and thump him.

how do you stalk someone online,do you post derogative comments .

i read most posts does that make me a stalker?
