It happened, Doombar has her first fish ! FIrst drop using small Sabikis, three bass, all retuned, the mackeral were thicker than soup ! Big bait down produced a nice Gurnard followed by a nice little spotty . Time was limited as I'm not confident in the engine yet ( still goes lumpy when pushed then drops onto two cylinders, could only be a coil ) Anchored up opposite the old coast guard hut , it was very snotty and bumpy out for the whole day. One slight disappointment, the old Shetland was far better getting over the ledge , I will get used to the slamming in time or it could be I haven't got my sea legs adjusted. This weekend looks pretty good so far , only saw one other boat out today, ( charter) but not going to push my luck to push a little further out until some confidence returns.

Mostly excellent news, congrats on getting her going, i bet we could have seen your smile from Poole 😁 now go on and enjoy youself

Also one of mine. I have one I use already and another for salmon spinning, perhaps I'll nominate that for sea fishing and get a new one for the salmon.

My favourite is the 'old school' Shimano Baitrunner. Smooth, tough and reliable.
