A fruitful trip on Kingfisher, about 20 rays of all species. We started on the secret Ray mark, my wife, Sandy and Nigel Allen were due to pass us whilst on a trip to Guernsey on the Condor. We had a wave good bye as they left the swash channel, then they turned around were on their way back in with Condor suffering from a Generator problem. The next hour for them was mayhem. First announcement they were still going after a quick repair, then it was all off the boat it is going no where and did'nt move allday. Chris and I had several moves during the day, the most fruitful was a late move back to the Swash. Our best effort was a 12.8lb Undulate to MT and a 10.6lb Thorney to MT. Another good day on Kingfisher, followed by a swift Doonbar😀😀

Did well initially although a late start didn't help (crew overslept). Unfortunately, my crew started feeling ill with what showed itself as sea sickness although he has never had it before; we suspect a medication imbalance. So, we had an enforced early finish, back in Poole at 14,45, but I still had 6 nice plaice in the box and a few bonus mackerel, not a complete waste.

Oh, forgot to mention, the rubbing action required with the salt is rather personal, so I'd do it out of sight

Plaice for us tonight with fresh runner beans from the lottie, thanks for the late planting tip, we're again in full production. About another week for broad beans. Looking for my next weather window to try again for the spotties and pleased to be getting out more in the boat. I love it when a plan comes together.

Plaice and chips for us tonight too ! Plenty caught...but mostly small ...[ish]......mackerel too !

Would't want to "cramp" his style !!!!

Just soak in water or wrap in very damp cloth to rehydrate the scales and slime and it should be easily cleaned off, if there's lots of slime, use salt to rub the slime off. (Cheap and chemical free)

Never went.....woke up feeling like crap!
