Kingfisher 126

Hi Charlie,

I did the same, it looks like if you have added for someone else then click on your own next time and don’t check or change the name it stays on the last name you added, hope that makes sense.

Added to Gary’s list yesterday by mistake and had to have them removed. 🫣

Done

The swash and inshore were unfishable earlier yesterday so I pushed out to deeper water for some bassing until the wind died down. 
It did, and became very pleasant had a few nice bass then came in and tried for some bream, showing but the LSDs and smoothounds only coming to the boat. Got fed up with loosing tackle so went plaice fishing in the swash, had a few small ones but the weed as Charlie said was like bringing in a washing line! 
Defo fish bite least when the wind is in the east. 🫣

Still nice to be out and not at work. 🤷

Hi Terry, I suspect that was the Pelican on her way back out to Spain, came in yesterday morning.

It was a pea soup afternoon for sure, drifted up to the pier until you could almost touch it before you could see it. 

Well done Jerry and co some great fish for the day. 👍

Dave Evans with the Fish of the Year, sorry Dave can't resist, wearing a "nappy" as most of us would trying to land one that size!! I meant harness Dave. 😁 Well done Dave, and well deserved. 👋
