Matt Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 So headed down to weymouth friday boattended overnight , woken by dad reving the engine 6 am headed to the shambles I caught macs dad cooked breakast, that all done headed for first wreck( dad asleep me skippering- felt great first time I've properly skippered Free boys solo! Hit the wreck bangon had one fish but were plagued by takes that let go so moved to the next wreck lots of pollack and a probable 3lb pout- amazingly the 6 pout all swan away strongly. We anchored at slack and had one tope and one very large fish get off( was well on but shedded the hook) But back to the pigeon- landed on the boat 10am and stayed all day before it Left in the marina! So whats the club record pigeon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Did you weigh the pigeon, if not, we dont go on "guestimates"!!!! I caught a Ganet on Gastronaught, I didnt weigh it but at least I touched the leader!!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well it was at least 30lb! And obviously a pidgeon beats your ganet cos we enticed it on without tackel! We had an unfortunate car breakdowb on thw way back as well so we didnt get home till 11pm! Charlie if you heading our way let us know, we'd love to learn from your wrecking experience!- or just play hosts inshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
