I think it’s the crouch comp Sunday so there’s going to be loads of boats out although they all tend to head south towards the Kirbys. I’ve told them and I’m telling you, stay off my marks. 😡 Galloper with Scott Belbin, I’ll tell him (I’m sure he already knows) to stay clear of your marks. Might be a good idea if you sent me a list of your marks that way we can make sure we always avoid them ?

I’ve not been with him before, my mate goes with him a lot and catches a lot of big tope and bass so I’m hoping for a good trip. He doesn’t waste time feathering for mackerel like other skippers he goes to billingsgate on the day and get fresh mackerel so we get more fishing time. Probably best that I don’t log his marks on my navionics app then, could make for an awkward atmosphere.

We were a good couple of hundred yards away and he came running out giving us shit🤣🤣 Sounds like a lovely bloke. I know it isn’t easy running a charter boat but some of these skippers think they own the sea and that privateers shouldn’t be allowed past the creek mouth bouy. I’ll post up a report on how we get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't a report as it doesn't meet the requirements of a report. It was more a statement of heading out where I happened to catch small striped tuna which would of been used for the next day as bait (today). Which I suppose being a Monday long weekend doesn't meet the weekend heading out category, or does it. I will send our new noble king a message to find out if a Monday would constitute as a weekend or if he would need to check with the forum rules for clearance. If it had been a fishing report however I would of mentioned where I had headed out from, the vessel and people I fished with. I would of stated the rods and reels, lures and baits etc. I would of mentioned the distance offshore and other vessels networking the search for the fish. I would of mentioned sea conditions, water temperatures and water temp breaks in the water we searched for. I would of mentioned the whales, dolphins, albatross, gannets etc etc as key indicators in the search for the catch. However the fact I didn't mention those meant it didn't constitute a report. As for not knowing if today being a Monday long weekend is actually weekend or not I decided to stay in bed until 10am and perhaps just go for a dive later instead.

I noticed that you don't need to go back very far to find others are also breaking the rules here in regards to going out on the weekend. This is not a statement ion heading out or not, simply another story of someone looking in a mirror 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another fine example just on the previous page from someone clearly not understanding the rules of this thread. How does this constitute going out on the weekend. Maybe the thread needs to head to a more simple Yes or No in regards to heading out on the weekend. Edited June 12, 2023 by JDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
