Was nice to get out again for sure…. Hopefully the setbacks are behind me… until Plan B comes into action… daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogB Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Hoping to get out on the morning high water, do a spot of fishing and then drop anchor to watch Teignmouth airshow on saturday from the water. Going to be a bit windy for us but we hope to sit in the lee of the cliffs. Riverside boatyard are renewing the pontoon (its been lifted out) so launching and delivering the car driver will be extra comedy and double stacked on the slip - a slip we have trouble hitting as the boat loves spinning around in the wind. Will be a long day for us as well, 9-10hrs, might have to think about how much fuel we need as we still have no clear idea of consumption - previous trips of a few hrs have cost all of £15 each time - but thats about 10L of E5 and we only have a 25L tank. Think we might need to invest in a reserve tank..... Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly my brain didn't and while drifting by the needles got snagged rod bent over double and the drag was too high and snapped the tip off. 2 drifts later, did exactly the same with my other rod except this one snapped by the handle. Luckily I had 4 rods so could carry on. Wasn't very productive, really need to learn how to find spots and anchoring them to find the fish. Caught a few nice mackerel and bream push a few small doggies Also the trailer winch cable snapped as the trailer was pulled up the slipway so we had an involuntary re-launch and had to Mcgyver the boat back on using rope and a ratchet strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Was booked for a Skerries trip tomorrow on "Spot on" out of Brixham, but crap weather etc decided otherwise Just read a report from a guy who was on the Skerries today and he had 10 Plaice with only 2 keepers, 12 various Rays to 13lb, Gurnard, mackerel and a Spide crab I'll maybe leave it a few more weeks so they can fatten up a bit May try and get out on my own boat Sunday 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the keepers vs returns works out at about 70 /30 for us, but we don't keep anything under 35cm Those that use worm and small baits tend to get the smaller fish, we use large cocktail fish baits Edited July 24 by GPSguru jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
