Malc Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Still wanting to get some silver darlings and the weather being better than expected I headed out. Not a sausage! Spoke with a small pot boat working in between the piers about the mackerel thinning out and about herring, but when I asked if his boat was a Plymouth pilot he was really chuffed that someone knew about them and offered me a lobster, yes please! VTS were very busy with lots of big vessels and I was dodging them trying to find even a mackerel to avoid the blank. First was a marine cable layer, in the centre is a massive drum that stores the cable. Then a cruise ship followed by my friends coming in simultaneously, so we had a natter until it passed. I started across the channel and spotted arches in the bottom 5m and dropped my sabikis and instantly hit a herring which I lost as I faffed with my net! Dropped again and straight into another that I landed and then dropped down only to hear that the DFDS ferry was heading my way. I made the other side and waited for it to pass, then back into the shipping channel and eventually I got another two and several mini whiting (returned) before they sent the dogger bank wind farm tug to stop my fun! Then it was back in and pick the boss up and all the cleaning storing etc before boiling the blue boy and descaling my darlings.
