great white Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Hi everyone, I have not been out for a couple of weeks and there seems to be a window in the weather on Friday. The tides are a bit too large to go very far out, so it may be a few hours on the 50/50 banks and a few on a mark nearer to shore. If anyone would like to join me , please let me know in the normal way Charlie Maverick Martin, Gummage and Greg 3 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Hi Charlie I would have loved to have joined you however it is a very busy weekend for our family so unfortunately must pass this opportunity. Such a shame as I have never fished on the good ship Alfresco Quote

Colin-58 Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Good luck boys, Charlie, hope you have warned Jim not to come over dressed in his Sunday suit tomorrow because he is very likely to catch FISH on your boat 馃槀 and so keep your camera to hand ready for any rare photo opportunity 馃構. Sure you'll have fun but it looks like you will have to dodge southerly's as best you can ! Safe treck and tight lines. Colin. Jim, great white, Mal Thomas and 1 other 3 1 Quote

great white Posted February 2 Author Report Posted February 2 Thanks for joining me today Jim. Really enjoyable even if Colin was right about the wind. Nice sunny day in the chilly wind. Bit rude of me to catch a fish before you had a bait in the water, but it was only one of many doggies. Moving out to the 50 50 area was a good move, even if the waves were bigger. Dogs whiting pout started us off. A short time later as the tide eased, I was rewarded with a small blonde ray. Before that was even out of the net, my other rod bent to a strong fish. Great effort by Jim to get the net under a stroppy spurdog, that pulled the scales down to 7.6 kg. 16lb 12oz. In old money. As the tide started to build on its ebb run , we decided to move back inshore. For just a few more doggies. 1600 end and short run back to the yacht club. Jim took the pictures so i will ask him to add a few. Mal Thomas, Colin-58, dicky and 2 others 4 1 Quote
Jim Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 Thanks Charlie, I'll add some pictures later. I really enjoyed it and even caught a few myself. You forgot to say that it was a funny old roll on the water at the 50 50s. It's rare that I feel iffy but that got to me a bit. I wasn't sick, just a bit iffy. I was improving back on the SRM and then on the way home. By the time I was home I was fine. Had some tea and a couple of cans of Guinness. 馃檪馃憤 More to follow later . . . . . . . . . . . . .
