Rob Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 ......in a good way! Knackered, too knackered to write anything of use! 10 blues hooked, 9 caught and 7 boated (the other two were a bit big!!!). Manic, 8 in and hour, couldn't get more than 2 rods out. Some times couldn't even bait the second! The last one we picked out of a few that were circling the boat. We chose the biggy, and I threw a couple of maccy heads to it. Then a chunk with the hook, then all sorts of madness ensued! It was like mackerel fishing, just one more........ Sloppy seas, ok on the way out, then a squall came through and stayed! 6ft swell at times, breaking waves and 7/8 knts back in! (18/20 most of the way out) Blu steak and a pint sat in from of me, bye! Steve S, Duncan F (bathclaret), Paul J and 8 others 11 Quote

Rob Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Posted September 5, 2015 Just a little cuddle tony, this one was the biggest brought in to the boat, was 70 something, measurements / size on boat and I can't remember exactly. But we released 2 bigger ones at the side of the boat: Ark, Kingfisher 126, Peter and 3 others 6 Quote

Kingfisher 126 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 Great reports Rob, well done on another successful trip. Quote
rich185 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Well done rob, looks like you had a great trip. Quote
Rob Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Posted September 7, 2015 we did - an epic trip in fact! took in some sight too, Land's End and St Michael's Mount on Saturday as the wind got up and we were shattered. Video is a work in progress at the moment! R Quote
Rob Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Posted September 7, 2015 So I have put together a video - tried to match the under water footage with the above water to some extent. To do it well is time i don't have! Nick said after we got back and were sat in the pub that it reminded him of when we were kids we used to fish a small local lake. The "excitement" then was when \ if you could get the chub circling in your swim for maggots being thrown. Just that time has passed, we are 25+ yrs older and the chub are now much bigger and toothier! The video is just uploading so may not be ready for a couple of hours: Rob Steve S, Martin.C, Kingfisher 126 and 3 others 6 Quote
Matt Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Truly awesome video mate! Although next year could you mike up so the commentary is more audible! Well done on plan coming together after a few tries the last couple of years,might have to have ago next year So approx how far from the tip of the bill..... Quote
