blueboatdriver Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Lovely sunny day out in The Channel on BlissII today; flat calm, red hot , couldn't be better. We had over one hundred eels ready for use but in the end I think only one eel caught, the rest was all caught on shads of various designs. Tally for the day was twelve cod to nine and a half pounds and one pollack of about nine pounds; Six cod to Matt, and three each to me and Tony who both lost a couple of big fish, we're not sure what, but both had our line broken after a big run. Matt also had the pollack. Great day, and a good crack on Bliss as usual, cheers Matty. Simon. Quote

Adam F Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 No Jimbo - unusally for a change - I have too as well! Gutted to have such a busy week when the weather is this good - multiple catches of cod, double figure bass and trips to Alderney all missed!! Quote
BigMac Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 What a great day out Simon, Well done!!! Do you think porbeagles may be on the prowl? Al Quote
duncan Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Simon, these lost fish on big runs - any more clues or impressions? is the suggestion porgies or are we talking 20lb pollack? facinated Quote
blueboatdriver Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Posted June 8, 2006 Not really sure Duncan. My fish had been on for about two minute and felt very heavy but not uncatchably heavy. I'm sure I must have been quite a few metres off of the bottom but the line just started being taken. It was either a large fish or the one I had on had taken me to ground. I had to put my thumb on the spool to slow it and the line parted. Quote
