ever optimistic

hi again gary , personally I think Aberystwyth would be your best bet . you have the patches reef which covers a very large area with some very good fishing on and around it, 

Here in sunny South Devon, mackerel can turn up in any month of the year. However, my shore spinning session today at Beesands yielded just five garfish and a pretty tub gurnard. The two biggest garfish came home for whiting bait; everything else went back.
Not a thrilling report I know, but good to get out in the fresh air and paddle in the waves! PH 

hi gary and welcome, she is a lovely boat, I should know she used to be mine till earlier this year.

Legendary performance.
 

Quicksilver pilot house 555 with a mercury 80 . 

Back to boat fishing after 20+ years. Purchased Orkney Pilothouse 20 in July. Not had much luck with use due to Lockdowns and Weather.
Currently moored in Neyland, but will be moving her further up Cardigan Bay next year.
Looking for any advice as things have changed so much, want to learn about as much of the fishing area of Cardigan Bay as possible.
Cheers Gary

Pilothouse 20 then 🙂

A wife is tired of all the problems that need fixing in her house

She asks her husband, "Can you please fix the leak in the bathroom? ", the husband says "Do i look like a plumber?"

She asks him "Well can you please fix the light in the living room, its been flickering for ages?", he replies "Do i look like and electrician?"

Growing tired she asks him "Can you at least mow the lawn?" again he replies "Do I look like a gardener?, now leave me alone I've got to go to work".

When he comes back from work, the leak is fixed, the light has stopped flickering and the lawn has been cut perfectly, he turns to he wife, "How did you do all this?"

"You know fat Terry down the road, i called him and asked him to do it for me" the husband grows angry and says, "how much have you wasted now?"

"Nothing at all" she says "Terry said he would do it for a chocolate cake or a blowjob" The husband smiles, "He does like his cake old Terry", the wife replies "Do I look like a baker?"
 

A Woman goes to buy a Parrot. The prices are £100, £200, and £15. She asks why the last one is so cheap?

"Because he used to live in a brothel" says the shopkeeper. She pays $15.

When she gets home the parrot says: "Fuck me, a new brothel!" The woman laughs.

When her daughters get home the parrot says: "Fuck me, 2 new prozzies!" The girls laugh too.

When the dad gets home the parrot says: "Fuck me Pete, haven't seen you for weeks!"

money no object I would have a couple of months in the USA , only problem is the sheer choice, might need more than a couple of months on reflection. but absolutely the way I would go to buy.

Greetings all.
Just signed up to this forum as things have become a bit tedious and stodgy on some other sites.
Just a quick post to introduce myself and boat. I am far too close to 60 for comfort and have been fishing since the age of 4.
I have boated all my life and have owned my Icelander 18 from new since 1987.
Touching wood she is still going strong and though a little basic and old fashioned internally still puts me safely over plenty of fish.
If you see me out from Littlehampton, Chichester or Herne bay then give me a shout, loudly, as the hearing is as old as i am!
Tight line, Moonlighter

I'm happy catching pretty much anything
Though the hit of a Bass or Pollock is a good buzz, black Bream on light gear as well
Not a big fan of trying to drag a 20lb Blonde from 80yds out against a 5 knot tide
The humble dog or conger often saves a blank 

I'd go for decent pollock anytime.  They just fight so bloody hard, and taste great to boot

10lb exactly

17lb

A young guy from Newfoundland moves to British Columbia and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in Newfoundland.
Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he gave him the job.
"You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor.
"How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One". The boss says "Just one?!!? Our salespeople average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day.
That will have to change, and soon if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Vancouver. One sale a day might have been acceptable in Newfoundland, but you're not on the farm anymore, son."
The kid took his beating but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"
The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65′′.
The boss, astonished, says $101,237.65?!? What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4×4 Expedition."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a TRUCK!?" The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.'"

Not forgettin this 80's rock anthem.....
