Great day on Sweet Pea

[niggle]

Early start but fishing was slow to start with but after a couple of changes of marks we had millions of dogs,mackerel,scad,Huss,small eyed,Thornback,spotted Ray's then Mal had something different and we both called it wrong but a PB bass for him @11.4 lb,pics taken and released.More Ray's and even more dogs then I had 2 cod biggest about 6lb both returned.

The whitting are in as they were robbing our baits until I landed a decent one,but the red weed was very bad and hard work constantly clearing our baits.Mal is the cod conservation Officer as well as Safety Offficer with several dropped good fish as did I .😜

Unfortunately when we tried to come in the batteries were flat so we made slow progress on the auxiliary so Mal called the coastguard who sent the RNLI out to us and towed us in.........fantastic guys!

A great day thanks Mal

Heard the Coastguard's side of things only, and we were off Poole Patch. Guessed you were on a handheld.

 

Glad all is ok, and great fishing both.

As always Nige is great company on the boat, the gum chewing in replacement for smoking is having some adverse effects, good job we were out in the fresh air       keep with it Nige and give up the cigs. Look out tomorrow Chris.
