  1. Oh shoot… I did wonder .. what’s the coo mate ? How comes ur selling up. oh I’d love it . Looks like everything it says and how reassuring to buy it off of someone you trust. only problem is it’s not the moment for me . ££ I’m sure I’ll miss that opportunity but I never seen too many of them .. how do you rate them ?
  2. Oh my …. That’s sooooo up my street what an utter weapon !
  3. Agree with you there bud 100% something I defo would install (if and when I ever go up a boat)… I’d have to have external helm. becuase the whole point would be to be able to do more of this so I would inevitably end up solo at times and need to manoeuvre. , always pondering on that change of boat a few variables to consider though
  4. Cool fish ! jesus christ ! 49degree
  5. Fair play Luke got out there and made it happen , had solid day out there, takes extra alone even though we can all do it , and are all motivated, when someone else is game with you it seems easier. I went out solo too. the weather updated good in the weather I went out into a bit of residual swell but it literally went to pancakes by the afternoon. i really thought it was going to happen , I had ones n twos busting up round me . doing everything I could checking algae ,but it wasn’t to be … next time though ! when I looked over the hood after hearing these dynamite blows to the water … not dolphins… I started chunking like Jeffery darma . Lad I speak to was out today caught his first thresher today nice big one .
  6. Get out there ! Come on … push the drag up ’cold steel to the face’ 😎
  7. Pain in the ass mate . People not in the boat world don’t reliease how much our happiness is determined by the poxy forecast 😂

  12. Managed to get out offshore one day No takers on the big rods but saw tunas and one thresher jump clean out the water. whilst drifting Ed started hitting into pollack on the feathers slightly better ones so I switched over the squid rod for a sidewinder and left it just off the bottom instantly a pollack of similar size little while later rods goes over Spinning rod so light setup Ed said Uv got a good fish on there I said could be just a channel whiting mate.. surfaces …big bass ! get the net !!!! 6 n hlf lb ! Thankyou ! Then I gave the rod to Ed for a go . Next fish another decent bass tad smaller ! fantastic! such bad weather so we had one day in the harbour on surface lures . But we was supposed to be trying for gilts … but the bass were too appealing amazing fun really surprised as we was expecting tiny nursery bass but there was some lumps in there and I imagine with a little more time in there we could winkle out some more . tryed rag , sinking lures , but the surface poppers won… snatching them so aggressively good sport . think we’re on… mackerel, Scad ,Pollack ,Pilchard Pout , Whiting , Bass, Cod, Cuckoo wrasse Squid, Weaver, Dogfish, Blenie , wish us some good weather and hope for a few big boys or girls … Josh

  16. Headed out Saturday stiff northerly to begin with which kept us inshore loads of bait around which was nice drifted a couple inside wrecks for ling while waiting for the wind to die off Ash managed one pollack for our efforts. he also managed a Coomber fish on the sabikis which was pretty cool to see. pushed out another 15mile as the weather really started to flatten tad of east but much lighter .. algae bad no sharks literally millions of gannets out there I saw good few sets of dolphins feeding and one definite BFT but not loads showing themselves no doubt their underneath nice to be out !
  17. Shame but to be fair excellent to get a take like that good luck next time ..
  18. Well done on getting out after it, sounds thresher-esq What hit the rod , did the line just part at the spool or ? Was it braid how heavy it’s all chaos when that rachet goes ,,, but we live for it

    Sunday

    Whilst away in Turkey joining on any free wifi connections I was watching Sundays forecast holding nice on the iow grounds. so a day at home to turn the boat around Saturday and by 2am Sunday I was on the road towing to Chichester harbour (from Kent takes me about 2hr) so semi local …as all of us boat anglers know you don’t turn down good weather windows, they don’t come that often .. I could of done with the extra rest on the back of the delayed flights ect but the fishing instinct got the better of me. Blasting out the harbour I noticed my tell tail wasn’t overly strong so I stopped and fiddled around with the hood off (as it was so calm I actually climbed in the transom area ) but couldn’t get to the hose clips.. ended up putting the hood back on then manually sliding a bit of 400lb mono up from the outside jiggled it and then it was clear and pushing out strong . Super pleased as I hate problems or potential problems as I’m sure we all do ha. Saw a big garfish swimming round the back of boat . Anyway Carried on blasting to the overfalls to try drifting with dead launce (big bastads from the previous Cornwall trips ) for bass. First time for the overfalls for me always heard of horror stories so picking exceptional weather and a mid size tide I thought would be ideal for a first go. All be it not a single bass as a result quite a few pack tope biting us off some managing to come in I did lose a better tope (assumably)which gave me a great fight on my spinning rod .. but ultimately pulled the hook.Once drifting off of the overfalls I stuck the chum in and set up a shark rod on the hope of a early thresher but not to be and another tope hit those live baits. So nice to have plenty of mackerel especially this time of year good signs for coming months. After a few more hrs we shot in dropped anchor to see if we could nick a blonde ray but only managed a couple of small spotteds. All in all a very pleasant day on the water. Can’t wait to get back out
