Saturday forecast is pretty poor for fishing the Solent, no chance in the bay. Unfortunately that's the only day I can do, so I'll (Tigerfish) will have to pass unfortunately.

Weather permitting Tigerfish will make the trip on the 20th or 21st. It's looking possible ATM

And the winner is: Matching a male cuckoo wrasse with Gary’s tee shirt!

Well done guys, a great few days fishing and some good fish there. I'm still hoping to go to Alderney in early June

Still a week away, time for it to change. It's been doing a lot of that lately, changing that is.

Turbot time for Graham on the Shambles

Done. I always use circles, mostly they hook themselves, no gut hooked fish. I answered the breeding signs I use but a little research revealed others, so ditto your point Charlie.

Sorted 🤣

Disaster averted. I did without auto pilot for 4 months due to a broken rudder indicator cable, what a right pain, especially on a 121nm wrecking trip so sympathies. Ok I know it's a first world problem.

Brilliant Jerry, those are HUGE Pollock, well done. Regarding AIS I highly recommend it, get class B so you can transmit position as well. Fishing and transiting where the big ships go you want to give yourself every chance of being seen IMO. I do have a switch on the dash so I switch off position transmissions for those 'secret' spots, mostly it's on transmitting my position. In theory the wife could track me, in practice my son does as he has a desk job 🤣. There's no licence fee so it's a one off purchase. You can get alarms for potential collisions and when connected to the VHF direct call a ship by selecting their name on the radio and also they can direct call you! Also the Coastguard can see exactly where you are, very handy in an emergency, even if you sink the last known position will be stored. Should have put those photo's on March Photo of the month!
