Lost overboard

[transportline205]

Im gutted, parden any pun but ive lost my bait table over board during the sept 6th boat comp. My mate was supposed to fasten it to the hand rail as i always do, but he forgot.By the time we got to our mark i turned to look for it and had that deep sinking feeling in my stomach it was gone! I thought we've been steaming for half an hour forget any chance of seeing it again,bombshell or what.This was the start of my comp. Somehow i had to put it out off my mind and totaly focus on my fishing i could'nt let it ruin my day, or my mates day, it was an easy mistake to make and on a boat you don't fall out no matter what the reason. This was something i made myself and i was proud of it,forget what it cost to make it had sentimental value. Im sure all you boat owners know exactly what i mean,i made it and it was the perfect accessorie to my boat.Anyhow enough sentiment down to details,i was heading out between the harbour entrance and old harry when i hit another boats wash awkwardly it upset the boat to say the least and i think it could of gone over the side at this point.It did'nt even cross my mind to look there was no other incedent from that point.The tide was going in it was about nine'ish in the morning.Its made of white plastic about 500mm wide and 300mm deep it has sides and a lid to keep the sun off the bait,also it has two legs underneath and is assembled with A4 stainless fastners it looks like it was factory made everyone who saw it said so.oh and before anyone asks it floats If anyone can help return this to me by way of thanks i will make one bespoke for your boat, you won't regret it, you pay for materials approx

Its a shame when something like that happens as it does totally spoil a days fishing.

 

Good luck and I hope you find it, if not get cobbling
