Odyssey

Couple of pics from last few trips, usual stuff, pollack, sharks, wrasse etc 🙂 Numbers improving all the time. I’ll keep adding to this thread as I often can’t remember who caught what when but will keep it a rolling update…
Numbers of scad around at the moment is insane… make a good bait so not all bad 🙂 
Back out on sharks this weekend, then a weekend off followed by an empty boat for the weekend (17th and 18th August) if you fancy getting in on the action drop a line, nice tides for SPJ and sharking else I’ll just have to have a practice run for the tuna…

Totally agree…. 
 
I use the cheap stuff for general fishing but I use trusted (more expensive stuff) for the big fish trips.

Was a bit lumpy after the Saturday blow but managed to work around it and get some smiles on faces which us what it’s all about really 🙂 
Best fisherman is the one having the most fun 🙂 

Bit of mixed fishing this weekend. Managed Huss, conger, gurnard, ballan and cuckoo wrasse, cod, coalfish, dogfish, weever, mackeral, pouting, bass, launce and pollack. Loads of pollack on offshore reefs. Inshore was a bit slow, so much bait fish in the water I guess?

Pics to follow…. 
But it’s big, it’s white and it’s got 2 hulls 🤩🤩🤩🤩

New chain to be fitted. She was having a tart up. We don’t do much anchoring down west it’s nearly all drift fishing.

Lots about this year. It’s been late starting so they’ll hopefully be around for a few more weeks at least as well 

He bought Celtic Wikdcat (used to be in Neyland) 2 years ago…. He took a winter to fit new engines and then wanted to sell the cougar…. Which took a while as was asking quite a bit. He then dropped the price a few times

Managed to get out on Saturday after having had a few issues with a gearbox but now all sorted so was lovely to be out
 
sadly the forecast changed at the last minute I warned the crew we’d be in for a rough ride but tbey were keen to get out. 
 
After a rather bouncy 3 hour steam we were on the shark grounds…. First run in 30 mins. Was a decent porbeagle but sadly managed to slip the hook. Rather frustrating! 
 
we had another run which after a spirited battle we had a cute little porgie abour 100-110lb to the boat. It was wrapped up but a wave soon washed it through the door…
Quick photo, tagged and released. 
 
Anorher blue of about 80lb soon came along, again tagged and released. 
 
Sadly the crew lost another porgie just underneath the boat…. 
 
I was keen to carry on but with 4 anglers with heads over the rail they decided to head in… another 3 hour steam home in a lumpy beam on sea and we were home 🙂 
Lovely to be back out there hopefully a few more weatger windows abd can get out again 🙂
