I use a large carp sack for weighing, I have found it to be easy to use and rinses easily. Will take heavy duty use no problem.

Thanks for taking the advice as it was meant Neil. I use a sack or net. After struggling with a selfie when solo a few years ago. I now carry a tripod and phone holder. Tripod has flexi legs that can grip any rail If really struggling i take a video. Then take a still from the video

I get the whole single handed photo thing, I tried a suction holder and just caught my phone before it hit the deck. Will not be trusting that anymore. Might try a magnetic holder next.

I invested in a century weigh sling. No more will sharks be hung by the jaw on my boat!! PS, I would like to add that usually I support the belly when handling. But, for vanity I was trying to photograph the fish, which is tough to do single handed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After the aborted trip to Alderney Tigerfish's crew (Alun, Graham, Ian, Steve) spent the Sunday on the Shambles, being the next best thing. The sea was flat enough but the fog was an unwelcome companion the whole day. We had turbot fairly regularly throughout the day, the best going around 5lb and reasonable numbers of keepers, many were small, just one brill. There was enough launce around and happily quite a few mackerel, some caught near the bottom were of very decent size. An enjoyable day in good company, the boat was washed down and made shipshape in record time, thanks guys. We had our AIS on as did Loobie IV (very sensible in the conditions) it was nice to have a bit of a chat mid way through the day. One commercial charter had anchored plum in the centre of the banks; Oh yes they had their black ball raised but in the dense fog I thought it was risky. We drifted on collision course with them and took avoiding action, but with such little visibility it would be oh so easy to not spot them in time. Ian (who else) politely suggested to the skipper their actions were inadvisable. It was an accident waiting to happen. No photos, however I did use the waterwolf. There is still tons of footage to go through, some of it interesting, most not. I'm planning to turn the interesting bits into a video and upload to our YouTube channel, that won't be for a few days yet.
