July Species Hunt

[Paul J]

Had a great day out on QT with Peter, just the two of us on that big boat was pure luxury.

 

Went west and stopped just east of St Albans, things were very quiet.

Next stop was a deep hole just west of St Albans, where we found some Tope in Slack water.

Peter was first in with a fish about 15lbs and then i got my first decent one which went 31lb- doubled my PB, i was chuffed

I got two more smaller fish on the trot and Peter got another before we headed off.

 

Went hunting round a couple of other spots on the way home but nothing doing but doggies.

Brilliant day out in the sun, great boat, great company and a few fish who could ask for more- thanks Peter

 

Species wise only dogs, Tope and Mackerel

Nice one Paul

 

I wish we had stuck with the plan to follow you west, we went to a small wreck and only had one eel so moved off a bit more for the first flood not even a dog

 

Lovely day to be afloat though

When is someone going to take pity on me and take me Tope fishing

[Paul D]

Nice one Paul - that is one impressive tope and beats my PB 5 lb one !

 

All I need now is some tope marks within steaming distance of Christchurch. Anybody help ?

 

 

[Adam F]

I took pity on you and took you tope fishing - then you decided not to catch one and left me to hook out a 35lber!

[great white]

Adam its always nice to have someone helping with the scent trail

 

 

Duncan was more than happy to let Paul do that for his Cod fishing

Now now............

 

Notice I didn't ask how many mackerel PaulJ had on his hook this time........I believe it is the right thing for crew to use large smelly baits - preferably that they bring themselves too!
