great white Posted June 30 Report Posted June 30 Good afternoon all After several long but unsuccessful trips last season, Dave and I both applied once again for 2025 BFT licences. Hoping to use the knowledge from last year, and all of the kit to have another go at these mighty fish. Two weeks ago I received a message from the MMO, saying there was an error in my application and I would loose the priority that I gained from holding a licence in 2024. Thankfully a few frantic emails and phone calls later, the mix up was sorted out. I received an email this morning, with good news. Success I have another licence for the 2025 season starting 1st August. Sadly when I called Dave, his email was not so good, due to considerable No of applications, he had been unsuccessful again. Later this morning another email from the MMO, correcting the season start date back to the 18th July. as it was said to be when we applied. What an organisation they are, having worked with them for many years while managing a Marina, I should not really be surprised. Many Members followed our exploits with interest last year so hopefully we can continue to interest you once again. Wish us luck. In case you have forgotten, this may show why we got so excited just seeing them off of Portland last year Tuna Bust, best one long version.mp4 sparky, 2006holmwood, Colin-58 and 6 others 9 Quote

dicky Posted June 30 Report Posted June 30 Nice one Charlie, do you fish baits or tow gear for them? Might be worth traveling West for an extended trip as number of fish certainly increases Jim and great white 2 Quote

We will certainly be trying to hear where they are and may go even further West Jim and dicky 2 Quote
