Wow Brian I recognise that, I had one on the wall in my workshop at RM Poole. comes out of the survival kit in a Navy 25 man liferaft. Actually used one once in the Indian Ocean when we ran out of shark rigs. I took it home when I retired from the RN, last year I took the hook off of the chain and up to Norway as a flying Gaff. Dave did a great job with it on my big flatty

I use mine for catching bait

We asked Blake what he wanted to do as a treat for his 9th Birthday, he wanted to take his friend Harvey out fishing for the day. So today was the day. Popped into Co-op for supplies for them, then Andy for bait and on the boat for a late start of ten o’clock. Safety talk and a few rules for the day before we left and a nice steady motor through the harbour, first time on a boat for Harvey so expecting anything may happen. Not the best of weather but at least it was dry. Looking good so off to the Swash for a drift. New crew taking over. Not a touch after a few drifts and had enough of the continuous wash off passing boats so decided a change of area. Off to the Beach. First drift and Blakes rod bends over, thinking it’s hung in until I felt it take more line than the drift speed, the guys got this little beauty to the boat. Biggest fish Harvey had ever seen so he was really impressed. His tea sorted out. A few drifts with wrasse and pout, no flatties and as the wind steadily increased we called it a day around 3pm. A couple a worn out happy lads after their beef burger lunch at sea. Harvey handled the rock and rolling all day and got his sea legs no problem. They are hatching a plan for their next trip. 😀 A great treat for a cod to show up and a lovely bonus for them.

Boats like that have been selling very easily this summer. Sam and a Member at work had to get there ones from Middlesbrough and Newcastle. Pop it on Boats and Outboards and I am sure you will get a buyer Good luck Pete
