Odyssey

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized She was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his:
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out. "Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said. "Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston."
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen Sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs!
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked. “What’s your Business at this convention?"
“Lecturer." She responded. "I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
“Really?” He said. “And what kind of myths are there?”
“Well.” She explained. “One popular myth is that African-American men are The most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican Descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with Absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. "I’m Sorry." She said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name."
"Tonto." The man said. "Tonto Gonzales, but my friends call me Bubba.

Looks like I’m going for the xSonic Airmar M260
Itll be the shoot through hull type…. Just need to sort a temp sensor now 🤔

Well done Stu! Fish magnet as ever 🙂 

Funky money is great if you want go crest your own using their fonts. 
 
My better half designed mine and I got funky monkey to use her artwork. 
 
There is also Art and Sea based in Scotland who are very good, they do kayak decals too, maybe worth looking at 

Nice to see you got out Stu 🙂 
You caught more cod than all the Penarth charter boats combined. One had only 1 bite in his daytime trip and not even that on the evening trip 😮

GREAT SCOTT! 😮😮

You found a cod…. Most people are struggling to do that so hats off for bagging one 🙂 

Post man has been bringing a few presents for the boat…. One little extra for myself too..
 

Just need to wait until spring f to get out there and get on the cod/bass/pollack/wrasse… I’ll be looking to run some dedicated SPJ trips in the spring, 10hr trips and fish a number of marks (inshore and offshore) depending on the state of tide… any jiggers interested in a day out drop a line 🙂

Merry Christmas to you too Pete 🙂 don’t drink too much 🙂 

£500?! It’d be £700 just for the reel over here….
Need to organise a shipping container for @JDP old gear, ship it back and it’d pay for my dream cheetah cat 😂

Most of Bristol Channel is now suffering from cod fever and the quest to find a unicorn but I had other plans…
Lovely little weather window yesterday so had to make the most of it. Plan was to try inshore for tuna and head out to reefs to see if any life about.
Sadly no tuna showing but the reefs were alive with fish. Mainly polllack in 4-5lb class with some bigger, best going just under double figures. Also a few coalfish to 5lb as well. 
 
Managed, scad, mackerel, Ballan and cuckcoo wrasse, pollack, coalfish and pouting for the day 🙂 great fun on light gear 🙂 
Now looking to get out on Saturday 🤔

Nice work! Slow start but sounds like it was worth it 🙂 

New (to me) MFD being collected tomorrow… a road trip with Pip to Hamble marina to pick up a nearly new Simrad NSS Evo3s 9 inch. (Will need to give the truck a wash and polish as it’s a very posh part of the boat world 😬) 
Plan to put the 7in out on deck and network it so that my anglers can see what’s going on 🙂 
Not sure on transducer yet but at least I’ve made a start on deciding what gear to go for 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve got the dog, she gets violent if she thinks someone will steal her ball 

I’m not expecting much (anything) for Christmas…. I’m always a nightmare to buy for (apparently) so I just tell people not to bother 🤣
If I need gear I wheel and deal until I can afford it… 

Jardine spiral. Useful as easy to remove from line when using spinners for bass and mackerel 

I’ve got a mould for 6oz leads which are inline leads I use for shark rigs. 
 
I don’t like eyes/swivels in leads as another point of failure in your set up. 
 
 

I’ve heard it’s only south coast and nothing set in stone…. Angling trust apparently fighting to make sure recreational is not included…
Goven lack of cod in channel maybe a cod ban be a better idea 🫣🫣🫣😬😬😬

This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years, the only friction in their marriage was the husband’s habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke the noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air.
Every morning
she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor, she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued to rip them out. Then one Christmas day morning, as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the innards, neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts, and a malicious thought came to her. She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling the bed covers back, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts. Sometime later she heard her husband wake with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood-curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bathroom. The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes! After years of torture, she reckoned she had got him back pretty good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his blood stained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said, “Honey you were right… all these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you.” “What do you mean?” asked his wife. “Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened, but by the grace of god, some Vaseline and two fingers. I think I got most of them back in…….............…..”
 

Anyone been out? 
 
my season is now done until spring 😞 Boat be out the water in new year to start the next round of maintenance, repairs and new toys to add. Hopefully back at early April for the pollack 🙂 
Powerboat instruction this weekend so still on the water but this time I’m on someone else’s RIB so I’m praying that the weather holds as I won’t have a warm cabin to hide in 🤣
