You wouldn't have seen that turbot on the fish finder. He was " dug in " It looked as though he was appearing from no-where - - - - -almost. Well it just shows there are some fish out there and my feeding skills are helping to increase the size & numbers of them ! It's the catching part I need to work on !

Luuuuuuvly !

Jim

Indeed Rob ! Jim

Ditto Nige

Hope you get it sorted quick Nige.

That's a VERY BIG DITTO from me Olie. Perhaps that's why there's a few down there - - - - I just feed them ! Welcome James. Jim

I think I need to work on THAT Charlie ! Jim

Indeed. I was proud of her. I forgot to say - - - - she winched the boat back on the trailer while I stood and supervised. When we looked up - - - - we had a large audience watching the Lazy bloke let the lady work !

I know Mick. We do see a few scary things out there.

Tiddler Nips out. Jacqui said at 1:30 yesterday " we could have gone out in the boat " I'd planned an early start on Sunday ( on my own ) But what man could resist his lovely wife wanting to get the tackle out ? ? ? We had a quick bit of lunch and got the boat ready. I was proud of Jacqui, getting stuff ready and getting it right !. I nipped up and re-filled my petrol tank - - - - - even better than I thought. - - - Only £12.60 to fill it back up. Wicked. Launched just after 2:30 and Jacqui got her brave head on and brought us out of the marina and all the way to the harbour entrance. It was very busy and quite lumpy so she asked me to take over. We spotted Mike & Carol on Frisky on our way out and waved to them. I didn't ask Jacqui to stop, she's only just trying to get the hang of things. We saw lots of fishing boats including charters inside the harbour and thought it must be rough outside but no ! It wasn't too bad at all ! We headed off to B/mouth pier for a bit of maccying. We had 10 & 3 scad between us The sea was getting a bit lumpier so we headed back at a steady 15 knots. Back on the slip by 5:45. Home for a curry & a few beers. Luuuuuuuuvly ! Doing a few jobs today ! Jim

Happy Birthday Lofty. Happy Birthday Steve. Spending the day with the family ? Or did you sneak off early with a promise you'd be home by lunchtime ? ? Jim

Quote Mick " W@nker " I hope you got a gold chocolate wrapper of him Mick ! Jim

Fantastic ! Jim

I forwarded this on to Steve. He's after a 2 person kayak for him and his 8 year old daughter. If anyone knows where there's an inexpensive one please let me know. And yes, I'll make sure he gets some safety instruction. Thanks for your offer Lofty. Jim

Happy birthday Mike. I hope you're chillaxing and enjoying it ! Jim

Or just place my wallet at the front end ! - - - - - - - - - I flipping wish !

Hope it get's sorted Martin.

Glad it all went well. Looking forward to catch reports & scores. JIm

Hi Hooky, Send me another text please. I don't appear to have received one ! ?

30 knots - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 30 Flipping knots ! Launched at 08:00 with great expectations. Pootled along to Brownsea castle to try for bait. Only got a couple so decided to go out into the bay for a few mackerel. Leaving the harbour and looking at the sea which was nearly as smooth as one of my Brother's chat up lines, I decided to find out if dinging my prop a couple of times had reduced my speed. Nope ! 30 Flipping knots ! And so smooth ! I just headed out quite a way flat out. I didn't do any Yahoo ing but I felt like it ! It was great. I stopped at various intervals to try for mackerel but no good. If I'd got a few I'd have whizzed over to the ledge but no ! Went to Swanage bay and anchored up to try for a few rays. None of the swimming kind came my way but the Sun did and I'm quite scorched Had some more of my chicken tikka baguettes and decided to head out into the bay again. Just whizzing around and stopping every so-often to have a go for mackerel. I ended up with 3 but nothing in shoals. just the odd one here & there. Headed back in and heard Charlie & Martin on the Radio. I did answer your call for any PBSBAC boats Charlie but only got my hand-held and must be out of range. I couldn't hear Martin and thought I was talking to you. You made some funny comments to what I was saying until I realised what was going on ! AS I was coming back through the harbour, I heard you both again but headed back in anyway as I was getting knackered by this time. Back on the trailer by 3. Home - washed down & unloaded by 5 I must be getting old, I'm knackered. But what a lovely day ! Oh yes, I almost forgot. Day out on the boat with lots of whizzing about ( no fish though ) ½ tank of fuel. ( 12 or 13 litres ) SORTED ! 30 knots this morning but all that traffic made it lumpy so 4000 revs & 18 to 20 knots this afternoon. I wonder if there's a prize for being the quickest to NOT find fish Jim

Beachcomber jewellery looks prety !

OH Martin ! - - - - - - You may be old - - - - But you're still funny !

As they say up north: Eeeeeeee by eck! 😂😂
