Odyssey

Glass of white go nicely….

Oven bake it in foil, 30 mins max, roasted new potatoes, veg of your choice on the side but if you’re posh…. Asparagus is good choice or long stem broccoli. Keep it simple don’t need much else to go with it 🙂

Kraken stuff again 🙂

Great photos guys, great to see you on the fish 🙂

8 blues to 100lb, then trolled for 10 mins and tuna on, about 600lb. Only had time to get 2 rods out…. Was hoping to troll deadbaits but no, didn’t get time. Was a 45min scrap on that one so ran out of time to get more as customer needed to get home to pick up his wife 🫣🫣🫣

When you stop for 5 mins on way home from sharking….

No high sticking, I think the blank must of taken a knock at somepoint. Totally agree on the bent butt, easier on angler too… The other 2 were a lot smaller so it’s amazing the different classes of fish that are running at the moment. Hopefully they hang around for the weekend…

Awesome! We don’t get any up here but I’d love a crack at some 🙂

105 inches of shiny loveliness…. Snapped the rod after 30 mins, so the lucky angler kept going on tod and got it to the boat… Stand up Stubby Style 🫣🫣

Nice work, plenty about 🙂

I’ve heard about that….. intriguing!

700-800lb…. Better pics to follow, 18 hour day, got to get to work for 8am tomorrow…. The power of skittles and red bull keeping me going at the moment 😂 (all released as in the water next to boat as I didn’t have the phone number for John Smith and I don’t think his cans were big enough 😂)

Was a bit better today… another 3 in 2 hours, rest of time on sharks, 10 blues to 100lb… bit of a special day

1 of 2 and a few blues today we ride again at dawn….

I’ve not been out with Chris on Channel Explorer, but he seems to find the fish 🙂 there is also a local tackle shop in the marina for bait etc.

I may see you out the deeps 🙂

If you travel to the west then Channel Explorer out of Portishead offers a great range to trips, sole, bass, rays, cod etc. A bit different to the south coast but maybe something to consider

queues already forming for Oasis tickets, apparently you just got to roll with it and not look back in anger….

Nice day out, crisp winter morning, sunshine, pot noodle in hand (I’d prefer a bacon sandwich) and the channel is still lovely 🙂

Cracking fishing…. Will make a winter in Cardiff look a bit tame 🫣🫣😮😮 Love the plaice too a right lump 😍😍

Nice fishing but what the tubey stuff?

Hmm more marks would of been given had my contributions to the jokes section been shown greater appreciation 😉

Had Gary ( @thejollysinker) out for a trip yesterday. He was on holiday locally and dropped a line for a trip. By chance had space so he joined us for an expedition to the deeps. What an all round nice guy 🙂 was great to have him aboard! Sadly I didn’t find him a blue whiting for the species hunt was a fast drift, and a bit lumpy… (LOTS of pot holes and speed bumps in the sea on way out and back in again, but cat bashed her way through) Gary did manage one blue…. Took a while to get it in. I did learn some new colloquial phrases from Devon that apparently aren’t safe for social media… but I can’t blame him when this little smiler popped up next to the boat after a heavy 35 min scrap 🙂 Top work that man, expertly played, tagged and released… 🙂 Another 5 finished off the day nicely 🙂

We get quite a few, especially on the surf beaches. Inshore is very quiet at the moment, so maybe that is why we are picking more up 🤔
