Do I need to also buy gay beer for this ??

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 🙂

Nice one, many sharks today?

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….

Was that a bit of high sticking or just a poor quality rod, bent butt rods make it hard for clients to high stick.  You would think the reels drag setting would stop any failure of the rod unless it was either of what I mention. Lucky it was an acid wrap or the line could of most likely broke where the rod had on the rough edge, which may of ended up with the fish dragging the teaser bar bar and line. 
Are you not using circles on the sharks, or did this one get a circle hooked deep somehow. 
Incredible to see watts on offer back there in terms of fishing.

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 🙂

Indeed, unconfirmed as yet but something toothy was reported at the weekend!

I’ve heard about that….. intriguing!

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

Thanks Dicky, will take a look to see if they have any individual spaces available.

 

Thanks Odyssey, that's definitely something to think about as Portishead is about the same distance from me as the Solent is.... have never fished in the Bristol Channel before but it looks like they get a good Cod run in the Winter!  

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 thought there was a thread "Who's out midweek" but can't find it. 

Anyway i'm out Friday (start of the weekend) from Neyland on White Waters sharking 

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….

I think it'll make most places look a bit tame now 😢

The Plaice was a middle of the road size for over there, the boys had some right lumps last year of just under 8lb 

 

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?

Don't remember you ever using this phrase when we have fished with you!!! What gives??

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

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 🤔
