niggle Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Set off on Shogun early last Monday with eight crew stopped several times for mackerel managed a few but took ages so didn't do any wrecks on trip over. Tues hit the banks all day boated 28 flats Wed same again 27 caught Thurs tope in morning,only a few largest boated was 49lb,I lost one on side of boat which was estimated around 60lb.Then back to the banks ,9 more flats were caught. Top angler caught 13 of the target species,I had 8 .We returned about a third of fish caught. Largest turbot was a touch under 12lb and we had two brill in the 6 1/2 to 7lb bracket of which I caught one Last day hit some wrecks in sight of French coast where we managed the usual pollack and some cod,largest 21lb. We had cracking sunny days, every day, great fishing but for me I prefer a bit more diversity. We had lovely food,Indian,Thai,steaks and more steaks at the Bell Vue. Great bunch of lads and made some new friends Really enjoyed the trip Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nice one Nige, sounds like a great trip. No wonder you needed 40 winks during the bream comp. I bet the 60lb tope was a real thrill! Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well done Nige - hope our trip on True Blue is as enjoyable - Colins pic of you on Boblin suggests you were suffering from heat exhaustion with all that clothing, probably enhanced by an overdose of oriental cuisine too.

ChrisE Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sounds like an excellent week's fishing. We're off there on 12th June with Chris Caines, can't wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
