Kingfisher 126

A good day to be out and cheers Nigel for the company. I have taken some video of us wrecking, or should I say increasing the size of wrecks if it comes out ok I will try to attach at some point!! No promises! The boat got up to 18.5 knots on the way back as it was so light with the tackle left behind on the wrecks! Got to be in amongst them to find the fish at times! . Another night pirk making coming up!

Ends in off Roger, about time you jumped on board and took in the high seas!!!

Tomorrow is looking too good to miss, oh dear this is going to be a short working week!!!

Good luck Brian, took Kingfisher out today for a run and some worm drowning with Nigel. Bitterly cold and only small whiting and lsd out a few miles at anchor, then drifted along the Chines trying to avoid miles of nets nothing then a few drifts in the harbour for a couple more whiting. Good to get a trip out but as always this time of year hard work. Got to be out to see what's about!!

Hope you have a good one Ben.

Have a good day Matt

Blimey Mal where are you going to put 10 sets of flares if there are not any more takers? Best keep clear of Sweet-pea!!

COASTAL FLARES £89.00 INSHORE FLARES £45.00 OR ANY OF THE ABOVE Mal 1 set inshore pls Chris, Kingfisher - 1 set Coastal (willing to part ex old ones!!)

Have a good day guys.

The French are paying us a very close visit, all French trawlers!!

Looks like I've been sponsored with a fish ID book, waterproof note book and a fishy tape measure!! Use my time after a fishing trip writing longer write ups for the forum instead of filling in the survey!! Sorry guys!! .

Boat out the water having a scrub and polish up, rooms booked, new hinges ordered for coolbox all thats needed now is the weather gods to play ball!! Booked for the 29th April 2 May so lets hope the fish are biting, if the poxy trawlers havent had them all!

The ground around the area must be smashed to bits with the amounts of trawling, but there must be a reason the French are hammering the area. Is it the fish are there to breed, if so the stocks must be being wiped out with this day after day!! There has been continued trawling there for weeks now! Nearly always only French.

In Birmingham today, sunny but cold and the view across the motorways is nothing like that!!! ;(. ;(

Must use the same directors etc as Robson uses Charlie!!!!

Belgium beam trawlers working close in, looks like under 12 miles!!

Get report Lofty and fair play to keep going after a spill in this weather!! Good to hear the spotties are around for the comp.

They are back again tonight!! Bad weather won't stop these bad boys!!

Even more there this morning going over the same grounds, nearly all French!!!!

Hi Rob You should be safe mooring at Cobb's, usually the only time you have to drain down the raw water side is if you moor on the river with the fresh water as the main source. I have seen core plugs blown on engine blocks when moored on rivers. Personally never had a problem at Cobb's ever. Cheers Chris

There are loads of French trawlers working in the western approaches all chasing after each other, wounder what they are chasing?? Last 24 hour track

I see your crabs are playing up again Nigel!!!!

Best wishes to both of you for the future. Great way of getting the green light for the Alderney trip Sam!!!!!!!
