    Handy for nobbling those pesky pests. Unfortunately the alarm gun can't fit a full cartridge, just the short blanks but guaranteed to cause underwear to be messed-up

    It was half a side of mackerel on a 6/0 Aberdeen on a wire trace. Half a side i.e. long and thin so a bit like a sandeel, if you squint. Bounced along the bottom over sandy shingle banks off the back of the Needles, IoW.

    I would be looking for a reasonably fast tide that is flowing over a bank, and then fish on the bank slope where the Turbot will wait for the food to be brought to them by the tide.
    If launce are in evidence, all the better as that is their favourite food, we even cut long Mack and/or squid strips to look like launce.
    The best substrate is a sand gravel mix, i.e. extremely coarse sand, almost gravel.
    Another place you will often find Turbot in hiding in the scour of a wreck, so again, a reasonable fast tide area where food will be brought to them with very little effort on their part. However, scours are notoriously difficult to fish on the drift.
    Rig wise, a simple running ledger, using a watch lead to create maximum sand disturbance, and a 3ft flowing trace with a bit of bling. I have tried spoons but cannot detect any difference in the catch rate.
    Smaller Turbot are quite willing feeders (3lb - 5lb) but the larger fish are a fair bit more fussy and everything needs to be just right. My biggest is 13lb, however, I fish an area where a 30lb fish is more than a possibility.
    I don't normally post pics of Turbo's as it quite often easily gives the location away 🙄
    Here is Kyle with a 5lb plus fish, this was May 2020, I moved the boat by a couple of miles to take the pic ................

    Oh, that's a bit different, most of the other recommendations I have heard before. 
    We know that there are fish inshore and although most are little saucers there are bigger ones being caught from the shore. It's a long strip of sand with heavy rock either end and well offshore the trawls pick them up, however we do get lots of launce and there are some good areas of tide with reasonable banks of sand etc so the potential is there so we need to change tactics and area to see whether they are there.

    Yes, the Corel software used to be Ulead video studio which has been around for almost 20 years, and Corel didn't feck it up when they bought it which is a bonus.
    I assume you are shooting in 4k30 and then outputting in 1080p ( vid studio does that automatically). 
    Another editing suite to have is Davinci Resolve (free version) by Black Magic design, this is used by professionals worldwide and can quickly do stuff that Corel struggles with.
    Have you had any over heating, or turn off issues with your GoPro11 yet ?
    I am now using a DJI Action 4 camera and still learning its foibles. The quality of the standard video is excellent, but I might try out the D-log 10 bit function and then bring in the colour profile with LUTS (Look up Tables) when doing the edit. Doing it that way, if you wanted, you could make the English Channel look like the Caribbean !

    No, ball is for ‘at anchor’
    ideally you should raise ‘inverted triangles’, which is the international ID for fishing, and if you have AIS class A, then change the status to fishing.

    Yes, they look flimsy in order that you can work the jig effectively, however, most of the better rods will also deadlift about 22lb.

    Light winds and big tides meant another trip out - met at the marina at 7am and immediately found a problem - the marina are doing work on the wall near my mates boat and they left a dingy in our way and a floating pontoon half blocking our exit -

    quick rant at the harbour master (who assured we would have unrestricted access throughout the works) and they come and move it - but that took nearly an hour and with the big tide flooding rapidly to high at 9am that left us very little room under the bridge - which wasn't lifting until 10am. we chanced it and squeaked under with 6 inches to spare at the highest point!  
    the day didn't get much better for me despite big tides - only managing pout and a dog. Luckily I caught more than a weekends worth last weekend - and still had fresh fish in the freezer!
    Tim did better with pout, poor cod, Thornie, spotted ray, a strap and a decent +30lb eel. 
    freezing cold all day - but stunning skies. 

     
    (tip if you didn't know - if you suffer from cold hands wear a pair of surgical gloves under your neoprene fishing gloves - works wonders for warmth.)
