alun j. Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 ......of my VERY long holiday. With a 6.15 low LW at Mudeford , opted for the pre-dawn launch. I was sat in my car ready to go at 4 am.....but Adam was still munching his cereal at home. Quick launch at 4.45 with water disappearing at 6+ knts......just made it out unscathed........but managed to leave my bag with fresh coffee and breakfast in the car.....and the camera to record the anticipated bass. Lovely sunrise [ unable to record this!], smooth trip out but first problem was the mackerel were still asleep!; next was the battery for bait tank was dead despite recent charge! Adam caught us a few whilst I rewired pump to main battery and we were ready for action. Big tide was still zooming west and full of weed, well past LW time. First of the flood brought a bit of action with a fish each..... but disappointingly small ones. From then on it was slow and slower. 4 fish in total, a few drops... not one of Adam's better days! But the consolation was a gorgeous morning on the water and back just after 11.......... Adam had to go and do some work I think ?? !! Just checked my battery is still in warranty so will get it replaced as I found the receipt ! Next time , think I'lll try somewhere different. Thanks to Adam for efficient crewing and excellent company; hope he gets his Honda sorted soon.......it's easy to spot how much it's cheesing him off !! ... and putting him off his fishing focus!

Sinbad Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi Alun Is that a leisure battery, or a car battery ? if the latter, you might be better off with a refund, and put it towards a leisure one. Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
