Fail'o Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Went out with Tom Smith on his boat illusion also with 2 other members Dan and Steve, Total fog all the way from Swindon to Salterns Marina but still arrived on time before the off, with thick fog all the way to the shambles i was beginning to think my first ever flattie trip was going to be called off, but Toms experience with his navigation equipment got us there no problem, first hour was bit quiet with only couple of dogs to show for our efforts then i managed to catch my first ever Turbot !. a real beauty weghing in at 11 pound then followed by another but only small so quickly went back. Toms turn next but again was fairy small but a Turbot none the less. that was it for us, just went dead. Had a great day out and good to meet some new faces, Tom is a real gent and couldnt help us enough. big thanks to Dan and Steve for all their advice given.

Paul D Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well done on the turbot. Was on the shambles as well. Didn't notice Tom out there, I guess younwere down the other end. Our day was slow with only one plaice and a dropped fish plus some herring on the launce gear. Was relatively uneventful apart from my crew forgetting the bait, so had to get some en route and then had low oil alarm just as we exited Portland harbour, but etec was fine, but a little worrying being 4 miles out with low oil. Still beats working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
