Paul D Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Went out all day Saturday with Helen and Elaine on Neo . Steamed out of Christchurch and went over to the Dolphin bank. Tried for some mackeral and found none. Then steamed along the Dolphin Bank to a "Good Ray Mark" that Charlie kindly gave me. ( In quotes as all we had was Doggies ). Then headed back towards Southbourne Rough and tried for bream there ( plenty of them all small though. Found some mackeral whilst drifting near there so put one on for bass....... Decided to check the mackeral and as I was reeling it in got a take from a bass which after around 10 mins was on the surface. Got the bass to the edge of the landing net and then the hook came out - gutted or what ! ( It was a good size as well around 6-7lb ish ) Then off to the ledge to drift for some wrasse and then back to Wick. On way back helped a small dinghy that had run out of fuel and saw MarineBoy in the harbour. Summer is here at last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Paul, Didn't get any messages - interestingly was trying to get the same working with Adam. We could send position req/ack messages back and forth but I couldnt get a call to work. We will have to have a play with the radio next time I am out. Sam, It would have been tempting to eat it but it was big enough to think it should be returned and I think I would have returned it. Still, like you say, saved me the job I am happy though as I know I have the technique right for catching them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Paul, I might be having the same problem with my DSC radio. I've sent out a couple of DSC messages and not received a reply, even when I warned the recipiant that it was coming. Didn't spend much time trying to see what I'd done wrong, so I will look into it more thoroughly next time out. BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Have you got your radio set on auto, manual or off reply? Might make all the differance Auto - will of course send a reply automaticly, DSC distress always does this Manual - You need to PTT to acknowledge Off - as it says Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
