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 Gummage, Greg and Maverick Martin 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 😂 and so keep your camera to hand ready for any rare photo opportunity 😋. 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. Gummage, Jim, great white 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. Jim, dicky, Mal Thomas 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. 🙂👍 More to follow later . . . . . . . . . . . . . great white, gaffa, Rob and 1 other 4 Quote
