Happy birthday, hope you’ve had fun.

Which Anglo Dawn is that Charlie, I knew the mono hull, blue water I think Chris had at Salcombe, he does change often!!! Now on a Cheetah I think. Well done Rob, I hope the weather stays fine👍

Great report Martin and sounds like you caught up with a few😀 any response re pm?😜

Well done Martin, sorry I couldn’t offer you any advice when you called. Tight lines

Thanks guys, went and bought another rod today!!!! If you cannot be a tackle tart on your birthday when can you!! 😀😀

As a Newby to Alderney I am VERY excited, though still trying to beat the SL tummy I feel sure Chris and Mal will be understanding!!!😬😬😬 Safe trip and tight lines to all

How did you do Dave, I have been watching reports of good flatties come off, especially mussle beds🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Well done guys looks like a successful comp👍

Happy birthday Dave, and Mark!! Tight lines

I worry that Brian reacted to this one😂😂😂😂

Belated birthday wishes Greg🤪🤪

And some curtain measurements please Jim🤣🤣

Happy Birthday, did you catch the Cod in your fish and chips? if you did you kept it quiet😂😂😂 Have a great evening

If anyone requires crew I would love to go, especially as without boat at that time!!

Good luck Brian, it’s a tricky road selling a boat, I hope I have just sold mine. Megabyte looks in great condition, feel sure she will sell quickly

Good condition trailer for sale. I had new brakes and bearings put on last summer, it has never seen saltwater since, and only bought the boat from Wiltshire back to Cobbs. Brand new spare wheel. £2200

I would hope it might save NZ fisheries as they are so prolific if they manage to implement cameras or staffing. As for us, goodness only knows, just look at the Comp yesterday. Well done on the two fish caught guys!!!

Happy Birthday Dave have a good one

Happy birthday Kev, have a pint in the Green Tree for me!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday, hope you have been chasing a Flounder!!

Watching the weather and trying to work in a days fishing at this time of year is always tough. Today looked hopeful for a week now and everything came good, all except Mal was enjoying himself in the sun celebrating the fact he had caught all the Cod!!!!! Left Cobbs at 6*45 and crept under the bridge with 2-7m clearance scraping the aerials, with such a good forecast and pretty big tides we stayed our end of the bay, after a couple of hours Kingfisher appeared and anchored close by. At this point we had only had, not a strap but a bootlace!! a Tope and a pollack around 8lbs. Everything was slow. I called Kingfisher who, as usual was struggling to keep up with bites and fish!!! He kindly suggested to move and join him, after a slight struggle to retrieve the anchor we discovered the stainless good quality D shackle joining the anchor warp to the chain had completely twisted and broken. This basically meant an end to our day, after much struggling with mulgrips and adjustables, I called Kingfisher to see if he had a hacksaw, at this point Charlie on Alfresco heard our problems and called to check we were ok. We collected the hacksaw from Chris in a sloppy sea and strong tide and proceeded to first cut the galvanised chain and then the stainless shackle ( I am sure I owe you a new blade Chris) after replacing the d shackle we found it would not pass through the windlass so some muscle was required for the last 10 meters when retrieving the anchor. We returned the hacksaw and made a pigs ear in the strong tide and breeze of coming along side but no damage done. We tried two or three more marks to no avail and came in around 3-15. A really big thankyou to Chris for having a proper tool kit, mine is being sorted out and replenished. Thankyou Charlie for keeping your ears on. Slow day but still fun, and big thankyou to above club members.

I feel really sorry for all you guys getting so much fishing time in,hope you have a great w/e weather wise and Cod comp happens, tight lines.
