Well looking at the forcast Sat is appears to be the best day so who is going out then? My crew is giving me funny looks can't think why MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our friends in PBSBAC Colin and Bobi

OK Dave will see you out there won't be too early I will listen out on 6. I have crew now too. Colin

Done Colin

Dave I should be out too, Bobi just gave me a pass! Not sure which direction to head yet might be going solo so might stick close spoils perhaps. Colin

Shame no cod Tom but at least you had a few whiting. I bet it was good to be out though eh? Boblin is getting her lift out tomorrow might see you sometime through the day. Colin

Baiter, save even more fuel

Stuie you know me it's not the winning it's the taking part that counts................WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOX

Rob thats not fair to speak of Pete like that

Got one at last Too big for the bucket great eh? I had to keep the crew happy too Colin

Is this a new type of slip Colin

Adam my cod was 22lb well done to Alfie Colin

What a great day to be out. Pete and I set off just after 0800 and headed to my chosen spot passing Serenity on his way to the Needles. As we approached the mark Fugazi and Marine Boy were already anchored up in the same area. We went over a lumpy bit so decided to drop the hook and give it a go. We had bites from the off needless to say dogs were the main culprits, we had big pout and whiting and a dragonett. As the tide turned we were ready to reanchor if the bites stopped, but they didn't. More dogs, pout and whiting but still no target cod. The weather was fantstic and Pete was regretting having all his thermals on. Fugazi and Marine Boy headed back in to Christchurch and PJ said we should sit it out for another hour which was exactly our plan. It worked I had a gentle bite lifted into nothing another gentle pluck lift nothing and yet another soft pull and this time I connected. Bu**er it's a conger I said to Pete it gave a steady fight on my 6lb ugly stick. Pete and I were convinced it was a conger, Pete was stood at the side with the Tbar ready then as it came into sight he shouted it's a F***ing great big cod, Tbar was thrown down and my nice new net put into the water behind the cod. Pete got it into the net and it swam straight out again. My heart was in my mouth now as this was the first cod on Boblin and it looked like it would be a PB for me. Second attempt and it was safely netted and dumped onto the deck. 22LB Fantastic. Pete then followed me up with a nice fish of 8lb 5oz We had a few more bites but no more cod so we headed home after having a brilliant day. Colin PS yes a PB dead chuffed

Boblin will be out with peter snr and myself, toooooo cold for Bobi!!! Colin

Bobi's had sea horse on her list of species to catch since the family day

Wot's the best bait for these 'ere sea horses then?

We will be out tomorrow too. We shall turn left out of Poole. Keep your eyes open for us. Give us a shout. Colin and Bobi

I was in Force 4 yesterday and speaking to Marcus. He informed me that they had had a break in and 16 inflatables have been stolen. They are still in the boxes so if anyone offers you a cheap inflatable let the police know. Before anyone asks, I can't remember the make. Colin

Try Sandbanks marina only swinging but a good price and only two mins from the entrance. Colin

I would use anything in my ground bait. Ask Pete Snr, i've impressed him a few times with the smells coming from my bucket!!!!

Planting of crops is totally controlled by man. Large herds of animals are totally controlled by man. The wiping out of complete breeding shoals of wild fish is totally controlled by man.

It's a good job there are quotas as I don't think any fishery can support catches of 1000 tons in thirty minutes for very long. That was skipper John Bucan's ( I think that was his name) full quota in half an hour!! Now that is scarey!!!! Colin

Boblin will also be out but a bit later than you guys I have to work till 9.30. so should be on the move shortly after 10. Will listen out on channel 6 to hear what is happening. Colin

No Rays on Boblin just dogs and dogs and dogs. So we moved back to the harbour and managed the second target choice. Flounder 2lb 4oz to me. Colin

But Martin you only have Granddaughters...... Bobi
