well done butt something good come out of a poor day  happy days

Boarded "Spot on" at 6.45, left the pontoon at 7 and steamed straight out past the 30 mile mark, one small Pollock and a few pouting was all this wreck gave up, so we moved a bit further out and didn't fare any better
This was how the rest of the day panned out, 2 or 3 drifts and if nothing happening we moved on, with some wrecks not even producing pout !
We tried 8 or 9 wrecks and travelled over 90 miles, we went more South than mid Channel as land (Cornwall probably) was visible all day
I didn't bother with the slow jigs as there were 4 others using this method and no-one caught so much as a cold on them
Instead I alternated between lures and bait, with my one and only Pollocklet coming on the last drop of the last drift and weighing a hefty 4 and a half pound
I didn't photograph my fish, but this was the heaviest of the 7 fish caught all day
6lb 8oz
I did however manage to pick up a potential new British record Grey Gurnard on a blue and white sidewinder, which went 2.49 lb on a set of cheep digital scales on the boat
The currant record is 2lb 7oz 8dr, so knowing how unreliable cheep scales are, I didn't gut the fish and kept it in water until we got back in
Tested the scales on the return journey and found that the .49 was actually nearly half a pound and not nearly 5 ounces, as we first thought
I left the fish with Ross (skipper) as he said he had already contacted Brixham Angling and they were staying open to weight the fish (fair play to them )
Had a phone call from him within 20 mins of leaving Brixham for home, to tell me the fish had weighed 2lb 8oz 14dr on their calibrated scales and it was a potential new record
 
If it is a new British record, I am then going for world dominance in the Gurnard fraternity as it seems I may be eligible
 

 
The new British record holder for the Grey Gurnard
Sounds like I won a 1930's dance competition 😄
 
 

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a pig of a job - good work for persevering. 👍
