Gas Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yes! We finally got out for the Cod. On the slip at 6.50am Abode at the pumps 7.25am quick call for diesel only, to be told sorry out of action until 3 July WHAT, so off to the floating barge not, open until 9 am, back to Poole bridge again no service until 9am. Anyway hit the mark 11.40am (thanks and I mean a big thank for the info from Alun) twenty boats but a big difference in the areas and the distance between them. Four charter boat closest so I slipped in behind them, two drifts not a touch, then the banter on the radio that the Cod were thin on the ground and small compared to early that morning and there was talk of moving. Sh*t all this way, so we moved 25mts south, bang Jackie first in. Hit the way point button and then made shorter drifts, funny that we started a queue over the same drifts as now all boats seem to now be catching and the banter changed from no fish to three a drift (pure luck as skipper I think) As I had commitments we headed back at 2.30pm with 9 happy fish in the cool box 5lb -9lb. Thanks Alun again. Club members and the club don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Glad you got amonnst the fish Craig. I was on Just Purfick waving to you. We had a few ourselves but also found the fish thin on the ground (especially compared to our last time out there ! ) and also had a slow start before picking a few up from the same spot as yourselves. But what a cracking day to be out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Craig, If you ask Corralls for a form, you will be abe to get a card that allows you to fill up there 24 hours a day. Have been meaning to fill mine in for ages, but we only fill up rarely having ermmmm alternative means of propulsion. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
