Hi Gordon, I've got transport issues at the moment, so travelling to Mudeford from Poole is a no goer for me Im afraid mate. Shame because me and Mark have done some night sorties to the ledge, theres some good eels out there. Hope you find a crew. Scott

I'd be up for that, where do you lauch from Manic??? Scott

Would have been right up for that Tom, unfortunatley two of the lads have already booked off tomorrow Some other time for sure, just need a few days notice Thanks for the offer mate Scott

Is anyone short of crew this weekend??? Espadon and Mark are'nt playing this weekend and Im itching to get out after two weeks off the fish. Poole area ideally, got all my own kit...........pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Scott

Good one Tom, no I didn't know the sex, couldn't remember which had the claspers. Like Mark said both fish went very well on 12lb gear and in 38mtrs of water. And that storm was something else Scott

Went out on a charter yesterday, had one Bass, 7.5lb again, caught in Freshwater Bay on live mackie Scott

Definitely be using the net next time, and the gaff wasn't going anywhere other than under the chin of the eel, but she was spinning like a good un. And as JIMBOB says, a 40lb reef eel is a good size I think, definitely worth targeting seriousley, if thats your thing of course! Scott

Was a great session, and good experience all round. Mark is being kind regarding the eel we lost, I made a mistake, but we live and learn. We both dropped a good fish, mine was due to me being cocky and fishing to light. Plenty of mackies off Boscombe pier too. Good night, sea flattened right off on the way back to the quay, think we'll try it again for sure. Scott

Bugger.............................. Its not mine but a mates, thats what he wants for it. Scott

Seatbox even I have a large blue Shakespear seatbox for sale, its in very good nick and has the breakaway harness attached, whic acts as a backrest and backpack. Was thinking about

Be great if any of them could speak English, let alone read it ! Scott

Great report Tom, enjoyed reading that, nice effort with the 7lb'er, thats two in a week for the club!!! Scott

Nice one Jack, waterproof paint presumably???? Scott

It must have been Markee B's expert intuition Duncan, was very much suck it and see when we dropped the hook, we were fishing 1.5lb of lead at the time, which was a shame, by the time the tide started ebbing hard it became pretty much unfishable, we were using half of a side of fish on a 4/0. Like Mark said, thanks to Mad Mike we were able to find the grounds visually without to much problem, good job as we didn't have many choices!!! Was great to get a good fish over the gunnels of Espadon, we've put in some fruitless hours over the past few weeks all bar some good bream, and its great when it all comes together. Its quite a learning curve, but as you can see Markee B's doing good, and my anchor monkey skills are building. Heres to loads more lunkers Scott

Thanks fellas, still smiling this morning!!! Tom, GPS was fine until we were just off Peveril when it froze, but I'm sure Mark will tell you all about it. And your right, would of missed the fish if we'd of headed for our original mark. Kaptain Kod, great tip!!! Like it Scott
