You are supposed to take this thread seriously you know Martin !!!! 😀

Look forward to the photos Jerry. Also, I would be interested in what the locals say with regards to the warming temperatures of the sea and how it is affecting the fishing down there? Good luck, Greg

Was out on Sunday 4th January on the Sadler Banks, no trawler seen.

Thank you Martin (AKA Gummage) for saving the day and joining me on Marlin. Having been not fishing for 5 months this was a must do event. We caught the 07.30 bridge and set off for a drift in the harbour entrance to see if there were any Herring about. There were none!! My second part of the plan was to tie to a buoy in the Witch channel and fish there for a while. So we made are way off to the buoy and I could see Madness in the distance coming down Wills Cut and I had a sneaky suspicion that Madness was heading for the same buoy. This became apparent when I saw him cut across the end of Wills Cut. Unfortunately, we got there first and the look on Chris W's face was a picture 😛. Any after few expletives coming from the Madness crew they buggered off with their tale between their legs. 😂😂 We settled down and had a steady flow of small Bass coming on board, The weather started to settle in and Jerry called us to ask if we were happy to get the 13.30 bridge back in. Fishing conditions were certainly not ideal!!! We were quite happy having our cups of coffee, mince pies and Chicken Fried Rice, but we agreed and all met up in the pub for a few drinks and plenty of Banter. Despite the weather and lack of species it turned out to be a great day. Thanks again Martin for joining me and special thanks to Jerry for organising the event and raffle prizes it was well worth taking part. 👍 And a Very Merry Christmas to Everyone

That’s fine Alan, I fully get that. If any other club member wants to come on Marlin for the comp just put your name down. There is only one space available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All is not lost Allan, My crew member has just dropped out and you are welcome to hop on Marlin on Sunday for the comp if you are interested? Let me know ASAP. Greg

Yes as long as the wind is in a decent direction. On Marlin will be Greg Toms and Nigel Pearce Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear that Allan. Unbelievably due to my van being stood up for 10 weeks whilst recovering from surgery, the Van’s starting motor started to make a noise. Took it into the Garage and the culprit is the extreme damp weather we have been having. A bit of corrosion set in so had to get it replaced. I understand your pain [emoji20] Hope you can get it fixed soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All good now Steve. See Weather Window Saturday. The image uploaded this time 😀

Thanks Stave, I will try again in the morning[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is interesting Steve, as I tried to upload a photo Yesterday in my Post and it would not upload. It gave Server Error Code 200 as the reason. Hope this helps. Greg
