This is how I deal with mine….shove it to one side and tip it over the edge 🤣

I thought this was a joke about revenge on a cheating wife!! 
How disappointing. 🤣

Tried Newport deeps (dogs, rays and a few biggish (25lb +) congers)
Back to Foreshore on ebb and it was shite
The cod comp is supposed to be this Sunday, but forecast not looking good
I have ordered my bait and will have pay for it whether I go or not, so will probly go out Saturday depending on what forecast says tomorrow

Should be cancelled, weather is crap and they have a reserve date….

well done budd

Leo, @Andy135 and I had second attempt at catching cod on Tarlach Too yesterday (Saturday in case you're reading this on Monday).
The first attempt turned out to be a comedy of errors which resulted in no fishing whatsoever from 2 boats! Too long a story to go into ! 
 
Any way we set off at 12pm and the plan was to fish into the dark and return at 10pm. Which we did. However, before we even left the mooring Leo decided to throw down his gauntlet by landing a nice 4.5lb bass on his first Chuck of the spinning gear. 
That was pretty much the highlight of the day. We caught a few fish, but the tide was sooooo big it seemed like nobody on the bottom was really feeding. A couple of small conger, a few dogs, a nice pout for Leo and not a lot for me. But as usual, I'm all about making the trip the best I possibly can for the guests. No selfishness on my boat. 
I did however catch the fish of the day (in weight anyhow), around 8-9lb. 

Andy had the biggest LSD I've ever seen, it was so big it even made his arms look short 🙄
That really was about it. We returned in the dark to the mooring just before 10pm. A good day had, but as always more fish would have been better. Thanks Andy for the good company again! 👍🏻

fish for the tally 

Today was going to be a quick morning session as the sea was forecast to kick up rough at 11:00 (ish).
The day didn’t start well as when I stopped at Tesco’s for fuel, I realized that my wallet was at home, so I guess that cost me a good 15 -20 mins. Finally go to the slip and launched at 08:00, which was 30 minutes later than I had planned.
The real purpose of today was a shake down of the engine service to make sure everything is OK and to look at the engine parameters to reference against for the next 12 months. Once out of the harbour and into the navigation channel I checked the engine temp, oil pressure, water pressure, charging voltage, and also the responsiveness of the new trim pump to the active trim ……….. all was working just as it should.
I decided to try a wreck that I haven’t fished for a couple of years that is about 10 miles out. I know that @fishybuisness sometime fishes it, as the wreck is more toward Torbay. A steady 25knts soon had me on the wreck, but then it took me a few minutes to sort out the panoptics, I guess the grease monkey’s had been playing !  I reset the depth to Auto and set the gain at 60% and soon had a good image of the wreck in 155ft. After several drifts with both a slow jig and shads, it was obvious that nobody was home.
I moved onto a wreck that often gives me Autumn Bass and is about 11 miles out in 135ft. By this time (about 10:00) the sea is beginning kick up but just about OK to drift. A few drifts saw me catch 2 pout (one very big and one small) and 2 of the tiniest mackerel I have ever seen. They were smaller than the 150g jig but perfectly lip hooked, so I guess they were going for the shiny jig hooks and not the jig.
At about 11:00 something quite strange happened. I had seen Dolphins on the way out to the wreck at about 8 miles and they joined me for a mile or so and then disappeared.  I was fishing on the port side and I heard quite a splash behind me on the starboard side, I turned around just to see some water disturbance on the surface. I assumed it was probably the Dolphins, as we often see them on the wrecks.
However, about 10 mins went by and all of a sudden a BFT breached right beside the boat on the port side. It was so close that it hit the line of the jigging rod and made me jump backwards. Not a huge BFT, about 6ft long so maybe 300lb, but he breached clean out of the water and took me by surprise, TBH I feck’in near shat myself and had to sit down for a cup of coffee !
By 11:45 the sea had really kicked up, and I was taking the odd wave over the stern (RIBS don’t have a splash well), which is OK as the pumps clear it quickly, and if the deck floods, then the twin 4 inch elephant trunks will empty at the rate of 38,000L per hour.
I decided it was time to head back in. The sea was confused with 1.5m waves about every 3 secs, however, I managed a comfortable 22knts back to the slip.
The total trip was 27nm, but very enjoyable indeed. At least it has proved that the winter species have not taken up residence on the wrecks yet, and also the Bass are late moving onto the wrecks before they head off to the spawning grounds in the western approaches.
Sorry, no pics today ……… I would have been nice to snap a pic of the BFT, but it happened way too quickly.

great report budd

Still a nice fish though:
