A malt double with a coke mixer .......... drunk it that way for years, I guess there are those that would call me a heathen ๐คฃ I go through almost a bottle of whisky, and 3 maybe 4 bottles of wine per week, been like it years, the only time I throttled back was when my Ulcerative Colitis got bad, and I was unable to mix alcohol and steroids. BTW, spelling is OK with either Whisky, or Whiskey, although I usually associate the latter with bourbon's ...... bring on the JD

Tune of the day (or week, or month, or whatever)
GPSguru replied to Saintly Fish's topic in General Discussion
This has been my earworm today ................. can't find the vid of Metallica doing a live cover, so we will have to do with the original from Plastic Bertrand. -
Better ๐ double malt, with crushed ice, topped up with coke or pepsi ๐, maybe a slice of lemon too.
-
I tend not to drink beer, far too common.......... Merlot or malt whiskey is a far better option ๐

How true is that, but twice in one day was taking the pish. ๐๐คฃ

Today, whilst picking the grand daughter up from school, I stopped off in the little seaside town to get a few things. As I walked through the pedestrian part, our old friend @JonC had come all the way from Essex to pay me a visit . There on the street corner (I kid you not) was a rather rotund geezer of about 50 with a neatly cropped beard, dressed as a bloody jester in red / green and ringing a hand bell, which was feckโin loud. To add insult to injury he was blabbering on about a load of old rubbish in an equally loud voice. I just looked at him and said, kinโell youโre a long way from essex, but he just blankly looked at me ๐คฃ To make matters worse, on the way home I stopped at Tesco and as I walked in there as a bloke of about mid 20โs with shaved head and tatโs dressed in a full length bright orange dress. Even worse was the geezer with him, a bloke in his 50โs with a white jacket and wearing a cravat ! ๐ก ffs, what is going on in this world !๐คฌ

You obviously wore a black suit, and from then on was known as Duracell

Gear on every wreck up to 30miles out and saving a silly whale!
GPSguru replied to fishybuisness's topic in Catch reports
It is not well known but a good few tope have been caught in deep water off the outer edge of the skerries. The Salcombe crews are reporting that wrecks to the west of Dartmouth are clear of gear. This year I had only one cod which went about 6lb. I guess Bream fishing from the boat is a novelty for us here in Lyme bay, ok on light gear. The local divers have been kind enough to give me the exact location of an estimated 10 - 15lb Ballan, which tends to bully the divers, so I will give that a go. -
It is a bit like the mafia without guns ๐๐๐คทโโ๏ธ I can pretty much guarantee that if I dropped my 2 pots ( correctly marked) anywhere along our coast here, they would disappear within 2 days. The longest they lasted was 5 day when I fitted a dummy GPS tracker to a flagged and buoyed dhan buoy.

There is no organisation of the local fishing fleets, it is a free for all, with competition between the 6 ports that the under 10m fleet operate from.

That is usually my way of thinking, but the there needs to be a bit of give and take on both sides. Right now that just isn't happening. Also the line caught commercials need to make living and currently their ability to do that is severely compromised.

It is one thing to put you on the mark, but the angler needs the skill to catch the fish ๐

Gear on every wreck up to 30miles out and saving a silly whale!
GPSguru replied to fishybuisness's topic in Catch reports
The only trouble is, whatever the outcome, the damage for the summer is now done. I will spend the rest of the summer fishing inshore marks like the skerries for Plaice / Rays, and the reefs for Wrasse / Bream. Once Autumn is here, it will be back the wrecks awaiting the arrival of the winter lodgers. Have you fished the Mussel rope beds ? Good info is telling me that a fair few Bream have been caught ? Matt did the right move in taking a year off to go to the Philippines ๐ -

GPSguru replied to fishybuisness's topic in Catch reports
Last time out, I didn't bother with the wrecks, only the Galicia to take some pictures of the 2 nets and 7 pot buoys ! ........... instead, I spent my time filling the bait freezer with fresh Mackerel. I have spoken at length to a couple of the line caught commercials / Charters, and they are seriously peed off, so I am guessing there will be a local Mafia war to sort this crap out. My next trips will be towards the South Hams wrecks and the skerries, but it is a long steam. The situation in the South Hams and off of Dartmouth seems to be a bit better than seems to be a fair bit better than what we have right now in Lyme Bay. It has been suggested to just cut ropes, but in reality that only makes the situation worse and there will be floating ropes and other gear cluttering the wrecks /reefs until it rots away, which from my experience takes years If you want a real pot buoy spectacular visual, then take a look at the Mudstone ledge next time you are out, there must be 30 there. TBH, pots I can live with, but netting each side of a wreck or across a reef is just plain greedy ................... I will have a chat with the local dive club and see how they are handling the situation ๐ -
School boy error and the one that got away - the actual catch report.
GPSguru replied to Andy135's topic in Catch reports
Agree, but it takes a while to get to that way of thinking, as here in the uk is is not something we do. I lost a Tuna in 2014 which spooled me, but in hindsight we should has chased it. These days, chasing fish is now a natural thing for me to do. -

Nah, it is just his ADHD kicking in, I guess he forgot his meds. He better not go for a drive, as licking the windows is not cool. It has taken me 2 years to get a tetchy response from the tw@t, so I can leave him be now ๐๐คฃ๐ BTW, I think the word we are looking for is rotund ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ, but hey, I match that description, time for me to lose a few kg before type 2 kicks in again. Oh, the joys of old age.๐ -
