One of my turbots

Jim and I will be out tomorrow on Madness. Only going along the front looking for plaice and scratching around. Will be listening on ch6

Looks like a 16.5 lbs caught on Fisheagle on a borrowed rig?

Mines same engine as yours, it’s never going to be the same . I have been working out my consumption, 1.5lts per mile Taking 100 litres, . Very happy to have some buddy’s on this trip, it’s the sensible thing it’s been a while but 🤣

Think ill leave it this time until I know what mpg I can do . Shame as I've always wanted to catch a turbot

Dan with his PB Pollack from Sunday , 12lb

Possibly, 🤣( you would not believe the stick I got when I dragged up that one 😂) Best fish I have ever caught, it’s all skill you know 🤫

Can anyone else hear an echo??? Terry.

ooooops !!!😲

Just got a job booked in for Tuesday so that puts an end to my dreams Tuesday lol thanks gor the info guys and if Hooky is taking 100 ltrs I recon id be pretty safe with 170total fuel plus another 20 as emergency back up so next time you guys go there I'll have to book the day off work and then I'll definitely come 😀really looking forward to seeing some pics !! Turbot is numner 1 on my fish wish list and one of the main reasons I bought a boat so ill hope there's another outing soon guys 👦 cheers

2 pics of me, and Joint Venture 1! I remember this comp, Dean won it in about 20 mins from the start! R

Sounds like if you use half a tank (50 litres) getting there, you have half a tank left for drifts and then 70 for the way home, just run efficiently as you can and don't blast back up the drift as the tide can be pushing hard. Just stick to you usual cruising revs. As already said, there is Portland marina close by for a top up. Using the plotter to reset at the start of a trip, and then calculating the fuel used is something you should know. Then if you do 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 2 litres per mile it's a quick sum and you know what is expected. Just remember, if weather changes you can use 30/50% more fuel if it gets really rough. Sunday I think we did 70/80 miles in total. R

Good luck boys, looking forward to the reports in the club members only section

I hope you are not a smoker !!!!!!!

Hi Martin, your figures are bang on. Fishing either side of slack, moving for the Plaice and drifting gave me about 110 miles last time. We should get some assistance from the tide both ways on Tuesday Fisheagle will have about 80 litres to spare unless there are unforseen problems or someone needs a tow. I would suggest that Rag Doll should be ok but could be pushing it if there are any problems, don't know other variables like how many on board, weight carried etc. Personally, I would like to know my boats fuel consumption before going all that way. I am sure other members will be heading down in the future.

JV went last Sunday, 10 for the 3 of us, 4 decent keepers amongst them. R

Happy Birthday Tony, I hope you had a great day Neal
