Well what fun we had. Meeting up with Kev just after 7, on an icy pontoon in minus 6. Thankfully Kev had the kettle and the heater on so that's a good start. We were joined by Dave and blindfolded I was taken to the "secret spot". where we drank our coffee, put the traces on and baited up. we were soon joined by the rest of the fleet, so the spots not that secret Lines in at 8 and lets start feeding a pile of worms to crabs. We all huddled in the cabin, enjoying the warmth from the heater and crispy bacon roll. Not a sign of any fish, and the sky had clouded over Then the snow started and just got heavier and heavier. 20221211_092134.mp4 The highlight of the day was definitely not the fishing, it was the fillet steak lunch Great job Kev thanks mate We stuck with it, catching only crabs, the snow stopped but it still looked very wintery At 3 it was time to call it a day and start the trip back to Cobbs, it was good to see Jerry carrying a bucket with a fish for the scales. well done J2 for getting an elusive flounder of 1lb. w Nice one champ. It might not sound as if we enjoyed it, but that is not the case. I had a nice time fishing with two good mates. Enjoyed lots of drinks , nice food and banter onboard. Finishing off having a couple of beers with more mates at the bar. Thanks all Charlie

What a day!!!! I am sure some pictures will follow in due course, the fishing unfortunately was slow to say the least, only two fish caught ALL day by all anglers present!!! We were the lucky boat 15 minutes from the end I had what looked like a Plaice Flounder hybrid ( hopefully there is a picture of this fish) and J2 had a plump 1lbs Flounder as I was unhooking my fish. The weather was quite horrendous in the morning with a lot of snow/ice/slush all over the boats, I think all boats had good cooked Sunday lunch and a glass of wine or two. Well done everyone who took part, a serious test of being a totally mad bonkers fisherman, a quick drink with everyone at Cobbs finished a day to remember.

Our only 'catch' The only fish caught of any species There was a lot of this Early enthusiasm... 2 fish and nobody else had even a bite. I'm going to struggle write a press worthy report out if this!

So glad I had to help my daughter move.....well done you brave souls !!🥶🥶

Sorry I couldn't make it today, I'm not allowed out on my own so disappointed. However the weather conditions and lack of fish mean I didn't miss much, except meeting the totally mad bonkers fishermen in the Cobbs bar.

Well Steve, You could write that Chris was the Star performer 🤣🤣

Not my photo Stuie. I hear they taste like chicken, will need a big coolbox!! R

Winners! Annual flounder comp, the only fish caught of any species by the combined might of PBSBAC!
