Newboy Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 There was a problem with the pre-arraged trip at Weymouth so a quick rearranged trip was found at Brighton. LW was at around 11:30. We stayed at a wreck, about 12 miles out anchored, the whole day. We had a cod of 16 lb, a pollock of 15lb, congers to about 60-65lbs, and breams to 4lbs. My largest conger was about 45lbs, caught on a 20lb set up. I was a little slow as I couldn't gain any line with my Okuma TL30 (must get something a little larger...) and the eel wrapped itself round something and it took the skipper Bill, to get it to unwrapped itself. It then took me a futher 5 mins to bring the fish to the boat. Most of the eels caught today at 30+. The day was lovely, nice weather and hardly any wind. Sea was like a mirror at slack water.

Newboy Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm kind of getting used to getting on a boat rather than skippering a boat, no launch, no retrieve and no wash down afterward, just pay the man and 'ciao'..... If the weather holds this Sunday, we are defo out sharking in Poole, don't know the name of the boat, but apparently they knew him when he was doing common skate up in Scotland. After that we are going to a 3 days fishing trip over to france (and some duty free) on the 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
