The sandeels lack plankton, which are being scuppered by rising sea temperatures

[QUO if I work things right I may get some flyfishing in at first light from the tender if we overnight in Chapmans Pool - but that's about it.

Duncan,

Sounds great.let me know how you get on

Paul J

Adam,

he's going to bribe the locals into taking a photo of him holding their fish

Spot on Mike

I'll sort out me drawers

The article sounds like a great way to kick off the new role that you were press- ganged into last night!

Happy to help you out as required

cheers

Paul J

Duncan,

You just need a container which you can tie on and throw overboard.

This will keep them alive overnight.

Lots of people use an old washing machine drum

Welcome Allen

hope all is well with JB

Paul J

please don't let Mark go

I quite like Loyal Royal

Paul J

Billy,

the record is there for the taking, i didn't expect to hold it for as long as i have.

I won't mind honest

Paul J

Paul J

Paul,

Your timing is impeccable, i was going to place an order yesterday but didn't get round to it.

I will send you my order in the next day or so

Thanks

Paul J

I'll be up for another session, best after some settled weather for the flatties me thinks

Paul J

Bob,

Yes it was amost a double take of my previous big fish

Mike, will be showing how to fix it correctly, so give me a couple of weeks and we'll go seek revenge

Went out in Chrischurch harbour and soon found out that the repair i had done on the hull of my dingy had failed!

Water coming in fast after 50yds, a quick turn and back to the slip.-

It's 6:30am, the sun's shinning, the tides perfect, and i'm screwed.

I parked the boat and went to a shore mark in the harbour.

10 minutes later i'm hooked up to a good Bass which took my freelined Mackeral which was split right down the middle.

After letting it run on the rachet for a second, i set the circle hook solid and it was game on!. I turned the fish but it's next run broke me .

I can only think that the ball weight had weaked the line, cause i had the rig on for a couple of trips.

It was a day of almost, but not quite

Paul J

Brilliant idea Rich

Cheers

Triggers do fight well, speedy like bream but the power of big Wrasse.

taste good too, reckon they would be similar to Leather jackets for those of you who watch Rex Hunt

We were there on Jigabyte

Had a call on the radio and Nigel went to check it out ,we were at Ballard at the time.

Got there just before the RNLI Rib arrived. The crew were already aboard another boat so they were transferred onto the rib and taken ashore. Meanwhile the cruiser was drifting and smoking like a good un (good job it were neaps).

We didn't stay to see it explode as we were off fishing for tope, it was about 8am.

Fishing was a bit slow , we got 5 to 12lb

Loyal Royal will be going as it is on Sunday ( could not make it Sat)

I will let mark confirm.

Paul J

are there any alternative fuel stops? in case Dave gets caught short
